Default SOM formula goodness ;)
John (SOMformula) had me out to his place to bring some extra shine to his rare formula. It was in very good shape, but all that time on jackstands had taken its toll. LOL jk John. It really is a very good looking car. It had minor swirls and a couple deep scratches. With one carefully chosen combo I knocked out close to all the swirls while enhancing the gloss simultaneously. As for the deep scratches, only John can see them because he knows where they were....but even knowing that, they can barely be seen now I also polished up the two wheels that were off the car. Easy access....why not? Once that was all done, it was sealed with Zaino and after proper curing time was topped with Meguiars #16 for extra deep, color, and gloss.

Before pics didn't really turn out. Lighting just wasn't working to capture swirls and car was elevated too high. But the after pics are filled with SOM glossy goodness

Enjoy!

You can get M105 locally at Neds. They are in Pittsburg and Concord. But be prepared to pay double the price.

I'd just get it all online.
