The weather was great today, so I decided to detail my car.
I started out with a basic wash, maguires swirlX, and maguires tech wax. Came out great. It was my first time using the swirlX, and I have to say, I really like it a lot.       -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Here is a before shot. Keep in mind this was actually really clean and nice looking in person. The flash exaggerates it and washes out the shine you normally see.
 now here it is after the swirlX, and wax.  You can probably get better results with a buffer, but I did this all by hand. I also dont know how long these results will last, as I assume the swirlX and wax is just filling in a lot of the scratches, but either way, im happy with the results. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

P.s. someone mail me an extra set of oem nozzles. These things suck ass at even the most basic washer fluid spraying. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
