    Well, after one extremely long and SNOWY winter (just around 103 inches IIRC) with a lot of salt and sand being dumped on the roads, my car was an absolute disaster. I'm still not even done cleaning it yet..... :stars:


    I still have to finish with some Meguiars #80 and a PC but I did not have those handy when I started. This was just a wash, clay, scratch-x by hand, and quick detail. I got too tired!

    Enjoy


    My corroding wheels.....(being replaced this coming friday courtesy of Jeep)

    This was a brand new claybar!!! Only after one pass on half of the tail gate!

    The final product on the tail gate....

    agreed. Pics just dont always do justice, at least not the hurried ones I took. Once I get it all cleaned up properly, I'll do a full-fledged photoshoot with some nice HDR's again.....cant wait for that day to come! :dribble:

    Milan, any thing else I can do to help, just let me know!
