It's not hard....just like the video shows. Don't rush it; take your time and you will get good results.

The time it takes to get out every swirl, a detail shop will never spend that much time, you have to spend alot of time on each panel to get the desired result, just do it yourself, and you will be very pleased.

Gas station lights will show defects that can't be seen in daylight. Some RIDS can't be removed without potentially thinning the clear to much.

M105 or Megs Ultimate compound followed by ZPC on a white pad and that will look great.

that car does look good, but Im guessing a lot of that "depth" and color is the post processing and the camera skills the guy used. The only way to tell true talent over the internet is by showing full blown sun shots on a panel, or special lighting.

I would love to come up and tackle your car, but it would probably be a bit costly for me to come up from FL for a single person/single car. I am more than willing to make the trip if we can get several people/cars involved though..

I would kill to have to detail my car. I have seen many cars you have done and they look AMAZING!
