Benefits of a cleaning

So while I wait for my car to arrive, I decided that it would probably be best to test out this opti-coat thing that everyone is talking.

I got Hamza7 to do my Echo, which is almost 8 years old now and I was pretty surprised at the results since I'e never really taken care of the paint on my car.

Aside from the first year "I'm excited to have a new car" washings, and a detailing done maybe 4 years ago, this car got washed maybe three times a year. To be honest, I'm not sure that I washed the car at all in the past year and a half!

Anyhow, I wasn't going to post any pics, so I don't have any before shots, but here is it.... 8 years of neglect, and the car looks like new! The only issue I noticed later is that it looks like some of the opti-coat got on the year bumper protector....hopefully that will just fade out....
