What $17 plus 3 hours detailing gets you... (and a decent camera)
Maybe I should quit worrying about how I look and replace my belts, oh how dumb I am.
Process:
Step 1: Wash/Dry - no rain spots!
Step 2: Cleaner Wax - cleans up oxidation
Step 3: Polish - shines
Step 4: Scratch remover in certain spots
Step 5: Seal/Wax it with your choice
For all the products it would be more than $17 but I already had them from last year so I picked up some applicator pads and terry towels and put some elbow grease into the paint.
* If I make my way down to Seattle tomorrow, I will actually use a real spot, this was just near me and I was too lazy to drive a long way.

That does look fantastic. But, to be fair, you've got to have a decent paint job to go along with your $17, elbow grease and decent camera to get those results

Does look good - mine has a few chips, and now the LHS needs a little attention since I peeled back the side mouldings. +1 on colour X, it works well for little effort. I've been thinking of wet sanding my car without going through the colour entirely, then respraying the base, leveling that out - then shooting clear.
The other plan is Lexus 1g0 - a dark slate grey metallic pearl.
