this was my day today...

So today was above 60 degrees, with a few days of good weather ahead, so I figured it would be a good opportunity to wash, clay, and wax my car, as well as change the belts, and give an oil change. In all, I started working around 12pm, and finished at 6pm. The fruits of the labor, is in the pictures. It isn't perfect, there is damage done to the clear coat that no amount of clay and wax will remove or cover. Gonna get it professionally detailed, and see what that does. If it still sucks, I believe a new clearcoat will be in order.

Before....

BB's are hard to do, especially considering the last owner didnt know shyt about detailing one, theres alot of deep scratches. But I did a decent job considering
