2003 Impala

My dad always one to take good care of his car really got screwed by someone. I saw his car awhile back and told him I need to fix his car. Finally gtot a chance to work on it. I used :
1. Pinnacle XMT gel shampoo.
2. Mother's clay kit.
3. Re-washed car.
4. Polished with M105 with Lake Country orange pad.
5. Used M205 with white pad.
6. Cleaned with alcohol,
7. Applied Klasse HGSG with black pad.
8. Applied Collinite 845 on blue pad.

The results came pretty good not perfect but my dad was happy and this was my first real polish job to remove heavy swirls. I would like to get all the swirls out but my daughter was driving grandpa and grandma crazy while they were watching her so I could work on the car. Overall I'm pleased with the results though.

I hope the pictures came out alright as this is my first time adding them.

Try again?


I'm a huge proponent of teaching people how to upload them to the gallery so you can "insert" them, not simply attach them.

IF you're going to be a "forum person" all or most of your life, might as well teach yourself how to work with pictures on forums. If this is just a post you'll and probably never mess around on a forum again the "attach" the pictures.

Here's something I wrote recently...

If you're going to be a "Forum Person" on ANY forum, help yourself by learning how to work with picture on the Internet (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/40083-if-you-re-going-forum-person-any-forum-help-yourself-learning-how-work-picture-internet.html)



I use the techniques I teach almost everyday, like this... right around 100 pictures that I took and then "inserted" after cropping, resizing and uploading to the gallery. I taught myself how to do this years ago to make it easy for people to see and enjoy pictures.

The rear qtr panel was also dull and swirled real bad. http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1263/thumbs/800_P1010237.JPG.

Not many pictures but here is completed.
http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1263/thumbs/800_P1010251.JPG. The rear qtr shines now and looking good.

The hood now shines and looking good. Not perfect but alot better. http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/1263/thumbs/800_P1010248.JPG.
