93 hatch clay bar, polish, and wax job.
Did a full detail on the outside of the car this weekend. The total process took me about 8 hours. The back bumper was so black from the carbon build up from the exhaust that it alone took an hour to complete with the clay bar. But overall i'm very pleased with the results. From what i know this is still the original paint on the car and for 14 year old paint..i think it looks great. Now for the pictures...

It can if you take the time to detail it....trust me this paint before looked like the average 14 year old white hatches that you see around. Now it looks a lot different. Later on today i'll post a few pics of before to give you an idea.

Wanna pay me? lol...its' a lot of work. It would be best honestly to have two people doing it at the same time.
Thanks for the compliments btw!

It removes the super-stubborn microscopic grime that adheres to the paint, and ends up getting trapped under layers of wax and crap. Makes the finish super smooth, and IMO, is totally worth it to do every once in a while.

yea i'm probably going to do it every 3 to 4 months depending on how the paint starts to feel. If it starts to feel gritty again around that time frame then i will probably do it again. This was my first time doing clay bar and was totally amazed at the results. Feels like brand new paint on the car.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Near future plans are some coilovers to slam it, turbo, and some other exterior mods like fogs and such.
