great job man. Is wetsanding and alternative to the heavier compounds to get swirls out? Or does it just work faster?

Awesome work!

LOVE BLACK CARS!

Do you have any pictures or threads of white or silver cars?
Would be interested to see how those colors can pop, usually I just see you working on NBM and black, both which do AMAZING things when they're clean lol.

Oh he posted that here. I just usually look at the before and afters. That car was way worse than this to start with. It's the wetsanding that just blows me away.

You can wet sand whatever you want - I've even wet sanded my polished aluminum wheels, my exhaust tips, and of course, my paint. As long as you have a buffer of some sort, you can make things come out really, really nice as long as you have the ********* to take sandpaper to your car

The sail panel is only going to get worse over time though - sadly, there's nothing you're going to do about it.

If you're down in socal or near Elvis' area I'm gonna be making a detail trip to socal in August (8/21-8/28 maybe 29th/30th). Maybe we could fit your car in. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks!

Whats it like working with Silver compared to other colors?
I know its easier to hide major imperfections, but seems like that would actually make it harder to work with.
Mine needs to be detailed bad and I would like to do it myself, but don't want to get in over my head.

Every time I see one of your post... the cars ALWAYS look FANTASTIC!!!!

I do a pretty good job at wash/wax but I would never have the patience to do a 50 hour detail.
