I Detailed this car earlier this spring,man was it a mess. 18 hrs total on this one.

A couple before's....

Major swirls,buffer trails and halogramming,had to wet sand some of the car including the hood.






M105 w/Makita to remove sanding marks and other paint imperfections.M205 via the Flex to remove any trace of buffer trails that might have been left behind,yeilded results like this...






This was a section of the hood before wet sanding and polishing.



After polishing. Same section.



And a few more.







Hope you guy's enjoyed.

SSTG awesome job man looks great. If you ever looking to try a great scratch and swirl remover, I just found this product by www.rt66wax.com they have a great scratch and swirl remover. I met the owner at a cruise night and saw some of his cars they look perfect. He let me use some on my black camaro and I couldn't believe it.
