Haziness is very apparent in the paint

`
Reflection i was getting with my cameras add on LED light

`
Once the licence plate was removed. Don`t think it had been cleaned there in a while!
http://i60.tinypic.com/28rin9k.jpg
`
`
As always i got started with the wheels.
`
Tires still had previous dressing but at least the arches weren`t too bad.
http://i58.tinypic.com/xgcvtg.jpg
`
The insides of these wheels were dirty! Grime was so baked on & thick not even a finger swipe would remove any to show how bad it was.

`
Now I don`t like using acid & try to avoid it at all costs. But nothing i threw at these wheels made difference. So out came the acid & so did the grime. I then neutralized it with some apc which also cleaned a tiny bit. & finally hit it with IronX to remove the last amount of what was removable.

`
Rims were then given some Hyrdo2 lovin!
`
`
Next up were Plastics & crevices

`
Made sure to clean the fabric border that goes around the sun roof.

`
& of course you cant forget to give the gas cap area some love, specially considering the condition it was in.

`
`
I then "foamed" the car down with a apc spiked mix to remove any previous LSPs.
My pressure washers "foam attachment"...i think its safe to say foam is the last thing this thing was made for haha

`
Unfortunately i forgot to get any interior pics, but here you can see the kick ass roll cage inside.`
Needless to say, that back window was a mission on its own just to clean.

`
`
Car was then washed, IronX`ed, & clayed.
Few shots of the paint in the sun/overcast once it was all set & done.

`
I then got her all taped up & ready for polishing!

`
The plastics in that whale tail were a royal pain in the @$$ to tape up! :mad:
