Last week, when I detailed my Dad`s black 626 to get in some more practice with the PC, my Mom asked when I was going to do the same to her car. I told her the next free day I had, I would. Well, today we did Mother`s Day early since my Mom and Dad are taking a cruise to Rome; leaving this coming Friday and they don`t get back until the end of May. I already had to work today since it rained on Saturday, but I finished up about 4:30 and headed to my brother`s where we were all meeting for a cookout.
I went in, said "hi" to everyone then headed back outside to QEW my Mom`s ES300. Then I went after it with Poorboy`s PwC using the white polishing pad with the speed on 5. My Dad was playing with his new digital camera, so he took these pics from the spot I asked him to (and on all the following pics). I also took pics, but need to have them developed when I finish the roll. Anway, the fender (again, after polishing only):

I then went over the car with Poorboy`s EX-P by hand. Turned out pretty decent. Mom was very happy!

I have a feeling my pics will look even better, because when I resized the pics, they were only about 600k at 2304 x 1536 and 100% jpeg quality. The pictures on the CDs I get are over 1 meg and 1800 x 1200 and 93% jpeg quality, so obviously these are not super high resolution, but they still turned out decent. :)
