Default Did some engine and exterior detailing on the Impala SS

Sad to say but I had neglected the SS for months and decided to detail it . And before someone says something I didn't have any tire dressing to put on it lol . Took me 7 hrs to do the car and that's cause I skipped the swirl/haze remover and the sealant. Is was to fckin hot for that (103 + degrees) . Here are some before and after pics. What you guys think? Btw the products I used are from Adams.

Looking good. Way to get those swirls out.

If you want to keep that engine bay clean, you should buy the other half of the weatherstrip that I used for mine.

You chose "Burnt Dexcool Orange" for your paint!

Some depots and a super light tint coat on those tails to take the cherry red out and your good to go. What did you use to get the swirls out?
