As I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently purchased a 2003 Ford Focus ZX3. The car is in great shape overall:

but definitely in need of some TLC:

About 1 week after I purchased it I did a quick clay bar and Meguiar's ColoRx to add a little protection. Two weeks after that, I performed the "major" detailing required to get the surface closer to my likings

Process included (all Meguiar's baby!):

Wash w/ NXT soap
#83 x 2 w/ PC
# 80 w/ PC
#21 x 2 w/ PC
PlastX on lights
ASD on tires
NXT glass cleaner

Although I was not able to remove all of the scratches that I could see, the finish certainly looks better:

It was overcast on the day of the after pics, so direct sun shots were unavailable.
 
Yeah, I thought that I mind as well us my E1's for something other than just collecting dust. I think the rims + the tint really make the car stand out.
