Weekend of Cutting, Polishing and Waxing ;)

Masking off my baby





























My gf's scooby was in pretty bad shape with scratches and water spots after about 5 years of ownership, so I really spent some quality time on it with some cutting compound, polish and wax. Only polished and waxed my car though and threw on her summers

You should have also clay bar the cars. You'd be surprised how many contaminants get into your paint, even with new cars like your 8

Yup, huge fan of claybars. I had already claybarred my gf's scooby before using the cutting compound. Definitely a must do.
