Hi everyone, New to this Forum and proud owner of a recently repaired Insurance Write Off.

The car is a 2006 XD Elantra 2.0 HVT Auto. Bought it from the "Hail Damaged "car Auctions.

Not sure how to post photos here so i will attempt to just use my photobucket. Here is the car being repaired -



Just after painting it -



During the week we had the car inspected at our Motor Registration Department and it was passed and Registered.

Now it sits in my garage and i will begin to Detail it properly over the next couple of weeks. First job will be a polish using the Flex Polishing Machine together with Lake Country CCS Pads and Menzerna polishes. Then i will seal the paint with ChemicalGuys Jetseal 109, followed by a wax with Wolfgang Fuzion. The new paint should have a nice shine by the time it is finished.

Thought i might photograph the different processes as it is done over the next couple of weeks and post the photos on this Thread if anybody is interested. I am not a detailing professional - just a weekend enthusiast.

This is the first Elantra that i have owned and really enjoying it so far.

Look forward to meeting you all via the keyboard and hope to post here regularly.

Rocket.
