Talking Before + After Pictures Thread?

Tried searching for one but search seems to be down again. How about having a thread where we post before and after pictures and the process/tools you used? I see a lot of various before/after pictures in individual threads, how 'bout having a thread where that's all that's contained? Car washing, polishing, waxing, sealing, etc...should be interesting.

Here's one:

Before


After


Process
Optimum NRWS wash with 2 buckets(1 solution, 1 plain water), sheepskin mitt, waffle weave microfiber drying towel, another microfiber towel....done in a parking lot!

NP, glad to see the NRWS is working for you now! Looks fab!!
Should lay some ground rules with this one though, and are we talking wash and shines or details i.e. polish and seal etc?
I would limit the pics to two each before and after (4). Otherwise this thread will take forever to even load once its been active a while.....Also keep pics from tailing off the screen. In other words, use size ratios/moderation when uploading your pers. pics.

Yeah, I'm getting the hang of it; once I pop the UDM out I'll be golden.

I kinda like just seeing: really bad/dirty to really good/clean progressions....stuff you can really see. But yeah, just be considerate; a 640x480 pic shows enough detail. If people want to post more, just post a link to the album or thread where you talk about it.

the best before and afters are ones where the "before" was taken after the initial wash.
