02 Accent

[sal329]

This is a daily drive 2002 Accent with 160k on it. It looked really good from a distance. Once you get up close you can see it was swirled like no other. In the last 3 years it has never been properly washed. Driven through car washes and the "wax" of choice was Meguiars Quick Detailer wiped off with a cotton towel. Well onto the pics. One day I promise guys I will learn to take pictures.

:lmfao Good call, sir. I popped in the showcase and saw `02 Accent` and thought...I gotta see this!

Very nice work, Sal. You have now dealt with Hyundai`s infamous hair-thin paint and self-hazing headlights. No sunlight needed!:rofl And you have a very good-looking fiancee. You should count yourself a lucky guy.

I was a little leary to use 105 on the paint but in my test panel I was not gettin the results I wanted with other products. 105 worked great and fast.
I am very lucky, we been together since dec 04, have 2 kids, her 12 yr old son from previous marriage and our almost 3 yr old son. This yr has been the yr we have grown so close together, one positive bout loosing my job.
