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 :sadpace:



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

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. :soscared:

Looks like a perfect testbed for just about every situation.



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