My girlfriend's Mazda 626 (that means nightmare).

[Prairie]

This is my first time with a PC...and it's my girlfriend's car.

She drives a Mazda 626, beat to hell exterior, pieces falling off of it, never been waxed, only washed during the summer. Pretty much the nightmare of any Autopian member.

There are crow's feet all over the hood, hooray for a clearcoat failure

All products from wash to wax are Poorboy's. I'm really happy with all of them.

Headlight haze before:


Headlight haze after:


Wheel/Wheelwell before (really nasty...I need to spend a lot more time on the inside of the well):

So, still some to learn, still a ways to go. But i'm happy with my first go with a PC and i'll be working on this car for years to come i'm sure.

Looks like a perfect testbed for just about every situation.

Car appears MUCH better than it was. Hopefully she appreciates having a clean car.
