Looks great Fred. A good improvement for sure

And one photo of the car (prior to drivers side rear coil going to the scrap-yard in the sky)... good - dealer's mist; bad - the ding on the rear arch.

I could do a much better job a second time, I think. I am learning so much already. But it's a reasonable job, especially given the location of lights so low and set back. They look good unless you get close... whereas before they looked very scruffy at a glance.

They are better than the fogs on most coupes! Giving the lenses a bit of headlight refurb will bring them up a treat, but I am guessing you have a polish planned for the rest of the car too.

I should have made more effort polishing the insides as well to be fair. But yes, the car has has a bit of a clean since I bought it, but hasn't had a proper clear yet, let alone polish... my other car has probably had 5 quick washes in 10 years of ownership, so it'll take me a while to build up to full clean and polish levels of TLC! I will get there, however!

I've started watching cleaning and detailing vids on youtube. I saw one video that went on for 15 minutes and covered nothing but how to clean car windows.

They look great, especially considering how they looked before.
