These pics are about a week old but I thought I would post here as well. Here was my process:

Wash with PB Super Slick & Suds
Clay
Wash again
UPC
UPP
Waterless wash
UPP

Two pics are the before shots and the others are after pics, hopefully you can tell the difference! :D

That's real nice work! Did you use a PC, and how did you do those wheels? They look awesome. :bigups

Thank you, I am a complete noob and as such, do not have a PC. Everything was done by hand. Although the car is new so the paint is probably about as good as it will ever be right now.

The wheels were done by hand, quite time consuming. First I did some Poorboys Spray and Rinse wheel cleaner, followed up by the regular wash, one coat of UPP and then one coat of Poorboys wheel sealant. It took awhile but they did turn out nice and the brake dust comes right off now.

Thanks,
Derek

Yeah, I was quite impressed with how great it looked when I was done. And each coat of UPP only made it better.

scions paint is done well... orange peel is one issue but they have some awesome glowing deep paint.

how about a full car shot

I keep hearing this statement about paint. What exactly is orange peel if you don't mind me asking?
 
IT is were you look at the paint and it has little dimples in it. It looks like an orange hence the being called OP. OP comes standard on all cars these days because of regulations of paint, and lack of wetsanding. Without orange peel the paint looks like a mirror. With orange peel you dont get as sharp of a reflection.
