Black car on a dirt road......what can u do. Lots of nicks and scrapes for a 150,000 mile car. But it looks much better.

Looks great! Black looks fantastic when its clean, but its a pain in the ass to keep it this shiny! Love how the legacy plates look on there too, I have them on mine as well.

Thanks! The car has never been color sanded or buffed out. All the orange peel is still there. Maybe before I sell, if I ever do, I'll do all that stuff.

Wash with 3D soap which had some wax in it apparently. Then clayed the whole car with a clay "mit", not a bar of clay. Then dried and waxed with 3D wax. No polish. Vacuum. Clean and treat the leather.

There's an image of the 3D product in one of the pics. http://www.3dproducts.com/ Not an endorsement, just passing along the info.
