How does the car look?First time polishing and waxing!!

Dealership about a month ago when I picked up the car:

After polish/wax:

I still have to fix a scratch on the back bumper and fill in some chips from normal driving... but how does my baby look? First time detailing my own car

Nothing is more gratifying than detailing your car properly. I laugh at rain because it just beads up and usually just washes away surface dirt on mine.

I am going to miss a polished Lakeshore slate. What a beautiful color...

Can't really tell from one pic with not a lot of direct light on the car. From that angle with that lighting, even a really swirled up car that was just waxed will look good. You need direct sun or halogen light shots so we can see how well the paint in corrected.

Yes, but even than you would need to have rather good detailed shots before the polish for comparison. I see what you mean though, I defiantly like seeing the before and after pics and looking at how well the results came out!
