SilverLexus, any other shots where you`re a bit farther away from the car so we could see what`s doin`?



That "pinstripe" is really something!:cool:

No problem Tom. I will add two more. Unfortunately these photos don`t do my work justice since it is hazy out.



mtodde helped with the claying as well and removed some tough overspray.

I agree Sean. It would look so much better painted black. I`ve tried AIO and PB Trim Restorer on it but the grey color seems the only thing we can get. I`m researching for other products...



I may ask Steve at Poorboys...

So whose job was it to clean and dress the wheel wells? Deduct from their pay! ;)



Also, who is the guy in the first picture?

Some police officer looking for a Solara owner in Hilton Head. :D



We did not do the wheel wells yet since the polishing took a lot of time and we did not start until 3:30PM.

Thanks Todd. I figured out how to post pics to my Apple Mac server.



Do you want me to post pics of Hari`s car? We can do it at full resolution. That one low angle shot is artistic.

You should try Autoglym Bumper Care, a buddy of mine used it on his old Citreon and it worked great.
