I have had the car for ~ 1.5 years, and really have only done a light polish/wax on the car… the wax didnt hold up well this winter, so there were a BUNCH of swirl marks and oxidation and all sorts of problems, it was basically annoying to wash the car and see how bad it really was… so i bit the bullet and spent some $$ to do it myself. I REALLY dont have the patience or the back to do this in one sitting, but today was a great day to do it, so i figured WTF Before the wash (there is a bunch of pollen where i work, that + yesterdays quick rain =this: ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01849_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01849_1280x960.jpg) All washed, ready to start, you can see the swirl marks and stuff in these pictures. ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01853_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01853_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01854_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01854_1280x960.jpg) The products + not pictured NXT tech wax Meguirs Claybar Pinacle XMT Swirl Remover # 3 Pinacle XMT swirl remover # 1 Pinacle Paint Glaze NXT Tech Wax ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01856_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01856_1280x960.jpg) 5.5 hours later… ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01859_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01859_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01860_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01860_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01862_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01862_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01865_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01865_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01867_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01867_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01870_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01870_1280x960.jpg) ![http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01872_1280x960.jpg](http://www.viper966.com/detail/DSC01872_1280x960.jpg) ---
