how blue should look...
Not bad for a OTC 3 step! I'm quite impressed...that's some VERY wet looking paint...darkened it as well! Excellent work my man. I can't wait to get me Evo and post up my pre and post detail pics 
. In the meantime, go get some more full sun pics so we can see just how swirl free that paint is

I wish I had taken some pre-cleaning pics. I have only ever hand washed the car once (!) while the rest of the time taking it to DIY spray-down places or quality local car washes (hand washing of course). It's literally never been hand waxed. I know I know, it's a sin... apologies Evo gods.
I'm surprised with how well it actually came out. I could do with some light polishing compound buffing in a few spots, and my front bumper is pretty owned by road debris (I'll see if I can get a close up pic in the sun so you can see how all the pits in the plastic diffuse the light). Also need to hit the hood for some touch up with my autosharp pen.
The C-pillar is really my proudest achievement.
It was totally swirled like you'd never believe, and it's very visible because it's so wide/curved and angled up to the roof. I'll get some more pics this weekend, it already needs another wash, lol.
This is what it looked like after its first hand wash I gave it (in the rain, I might add):

Another thing to note: you need to add some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to your car cleaning arsenal. It took 99.9% of all smudges/wax residue/crap off the black trim and windshield. The thing is amazing!
