cleaned up smokey..

[The_buster]

At work we have this brand of car care products called voodoo ride. I got some free product and tried it out today...

 

I didn't realize it was going to be that much work. Never did anything like this before, I used warm water and dawn first since i had a clay bar to use and everyone at work said no wax/wash before using that. Then dried it off, then did the clay bar, then the car wash concentrate, and then a liquid wax. My shoulders are still sore. here are some pics

 

When I first got it..

Re: cleaned up smokey....that's impossible since Smokey 2.0 is in my garage and Smokey 1.0 met its death at my hands years ago. :gabe:

 

Other than that it seems like you put some good ol' elbow grease into the car which is always a good thing. Just work on those golf ball sized dents in the hood.

^^ Road Rash. Either get it resprayed or perhaps use a colored wax to somewhat hide it temporarily. Dr. ColorChip Automotive Paint Chip Repair System is another solution, but I'm not sure I'd spend the money on it unless it was a new/newer car as yours appears to have a pretty bad case. Highway miles in the country is what it appears to be. Your call.
