This is a new purchase I picked up recently to resell. Me and my son washed, clayed and took PC w/ 360 and orange and white pad to it.

Today I took before photos, then touched it up with a general cleaning. Need suggestions as to what to put on it from here. I may need to go over some areas with another product to get some of the problem areas cleaned up. I need to put a wax on. I have some Menzerna FP and Klasse AIO.

Before, but after washing, clay and PC

From what I can see of the pictures it looks like you did a very nice job. Larger pictures would be nice.

I am new, so trying to use Gallery, this is the first pictures without using attachment feature. Trying to read some post to see how to resize pictures. I guess I am going to have to get Photobucket to really post the kind of pictures that are useful for critique.

pawpaw..the only reason I said Photobucket is becuase that's what I'm using and so far it's been working just fine. Hope you didn't take what I said the wrong way, I would love to see the pictures...I love pictures...no harm intended.

If you need help with photobucket let me know I'll help out as much as I can.

No harm here, Nica. Meghan sent me a couple links telling how to post pictures, seems like photobucket is a common program being used. Just trying to figure out how to post bigger pictures using gallery.

I really would like to get the pictures bigger and get some feedback as to what to do next.

You said you used 360 with orange and white pad. So did you do one pass with the orange and then another with the white? I wondered how it works with 360.

Since 360 was the only product we had, my son had to make several passes. I am working on another order and looking to add more swirl remover, either a kit or at least #3.

With my limited experience I could see that 360 is a must have.

I have both Photobucket and Image Shack. I found Imageshack to be very slow to upload and photobucket has worked great every single time.

How odd is it to see your dad post on a site you introduced him to...haha


Since i took over the car.....

Tomorrow im doing a full compound job on the car to bring that awesome shine out...

im also going to try and repair a lot of the bug etching on the hood

i found the correct code for the scrach repair paint, and have some 2/3000 grit sand paper and some Optimum compound/polish to hopefully make the car pop...then im going to top with Max Wax/ Spray Souv

Oh and let me know if you need help with any of the plastic trim.

Heres my car now
