I know its not an EP3, but I just thought I'd share.
Just detailed my friend's car today. I was surprise it is still in such good condition. There is hardly any swirl marks on it after 2ish years of ownership, and it was hardly washed.
Good thing he washed the car the day before, alot less work to do. As you can see the car is in pretty good shape, besides the bumpers and some deep scratches. Was able to remove paint that was rubbed onto the doors and bumper by another car. Made all light scratches less visible if not gone.

There isn't any type of protection or wax on the clear coat.

Clay barring the car took awhile as there was lots of contamination.

Removed a tree sap that was pretty much stuck on the bumper (no previous pics). Used Tarminator and Bug Sponge, after 5 tries.

It sucks not having a big garage to work in (if only my garage was big enough). Detailing outdoor sucks, and especially when it hot like today. But it was fun.
