An old train car? ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized8.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized8.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized9.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized9.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized10.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized10.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized11.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/jeepsrule1/sized11.jpg) So, I did: Pinnacle Advanced swirl mark remover with yellow pads via cylco Blackfire pre-polish with white pads/cylco EX-P sealant by hand, left it overnight Collinite Insulator wax by hand. Tires/trim have Mother’s protectant on it (need to use it up, it’s not that impressive) Glass was polished with the same polishes I used on the paint (no I don’t know why I do this, but it just leaves the glass so nice) and collinite (which is a big mistake, since it really is hard to get off completely. I bet if you look closely you can see it in some of the pictures). The wheels were just cleaned with soap/washmit and I put EX-P on them. I know you are all sick of pictures of my car. ---

> [@Pass McGass](#): > > wow your car is so clean. > > but it is also so stock and so boring to look at 😛 > > nice pics though Wouldn’t it be funny if it wasn’t slow? Nobody would guess it. Especially since it’s an SE, and everybody knows SE’s are automatics. But alas, at this point I think it may be a waste of money to modify, and saving for a different car in a few years may be a better idea. Thanks for the compliments, though. This is the first time I have been 100% happy with the results. So wet. 🙂 ---

looks good. I just did a wash and wax with collinite. it came out pretty nice even with all of my swirl marks/scratches/orange peel. I’ve read that collinite is great for protecting the finish through the winter. ---
