I'll take new pics next sunny day. But to give you an idea, I washed & detailed it yesterday and today it's parked on freshly-vacuumed carpet in the garage, and the cover is on, waiting for the weekend- IF it's dry, warm, and sunny! :)

My process:
1. Wash & Dry
2. Griot's Garage Machine Polish 3 with PC and orange pad
3. Buff by hand
4. Poor Boy's EX-P polish/sealant with PC and polishing pad
5. Buff by hand
6. Natty's Paste Wax Blue by hand
7. Buff by hand
8. Clean Racing Beat muffler canisters and tips and apply protection
9. Apply Back to Black

It's not the camera, but rather PS skills. Camera is a simple 4 year old point and shoot.

cleaned my car today :)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3351/3432229841_5c0d138fd5_o.jpg

My process,

1. Wash w/ dish washing soap to get off oils, wax, etc.
2. Clay Bar
3. Wash again w/ dish washing soap
4. Meguiars cleaner wax
5. Meguiars #7 Polish
6. Meguiars #26 Show Car Glaze
7. Mothers Back to Black on the rubber seals and plastic
8. Clean windows w/ eagle f1 20/20
9. Clean interior
10. Shine tires
11. Polish exhaust tips

I just did this whole process today, took me 6 hrs. The 8 feels better than it did brand new. Some advice on drying the car after washing, use a leaf blower starting from the top of the car, down. Oh, and only 100% cotton on every towel that touches the car.

i've always heard washing a car with dishwashing soap is he worst thing that you can do... why would they make car wash if you weren't supposed to wash your car with it

Dishwasher soap and car wash soap are two different products. You do not use dishwasher soap after you have waxed you car because dishwasher soap will remove the wax. People often use dishwasher soap to strip the wax when they want to start fresh like tho OP did. Hope this helps.

Bob

that's too much for me, I just wash, claybar, wash, zymol wax. done

no blues, :(

It's been cleaner, but I didn't feel like spending all day cleaning my car. It's due for yet another coat of Zaino one of these days though.

host the picture onto a picture hosting site (i.e. photobucket, tiny url, image shack etc.) then take the url and strap on image tags on the front and back of the URL and you're done :D:
