If any of you want the newest photoshop I have a working cracked version on my widows 7 64-bit PC. I'd be happy to distribute.

Ryan, yours looks great too, much more natural. I kinda liked the cartooney look of mine

I want to detail my car(mainly the outside) this week. I can handle the inside no problem, but other than normal washing, have NO IDEA what im doing on the outside... I have SWIRL MARKS!... I have read a lot of things on the internet, and some of them seem to be conflicting. My schedule is a little tight from now till Wed when im going out of town. I would like to do this myself, unless someone would like to help/show me what to do!?.. haha Any suggestions as to what products, process, etc... Thanks!

The process for this is extra complicated with many conflicting opinions. A good number of us took a pro detailing class several months ago. Your best bet is to use a random orbital DA with a buffing pad and some aggressive diminishing abrasive. Then move on to a polishing pad with some polish. Then wax. Clay bar before all this haha. It's an all day event. I'd be happy to help when I'm back in town in 2 weeks
