I finally got to try out the Duetto system I bought during the Easter sale. The first guinea pig was my sister's 1999 Toyota Corolla. Here it is after a foam cannon washing. Any shine you see is because the car is still wet:

Here's a close-up of the paint on the roof. Mind you, this is after washing. Again, any shine you see is from water, as I did not dry the car when I took this photo:

I didn't finish the car; I only washed it, gave it a claying, and used the Duetto with the coarse pad and Zephir polish. But here are a couple of shots showing the completely dull "before" and nice reflective "after"
3/4 of the hood polished:

Half-and half of the roof:

Sorry folks, that's all the pics I have...there is no ending beauty shots because the car is nowhere near finished. Suffice it to say the car is at least no longer completely embarrassing to now only mildly embarrassing. LOL.
