Re: Badly swirled black Suburban

Great job, looks really nice. I can't believe PB PP finished up after M105 with a polishing pad. Did you do an IPA wipe down after PB PP?

Looks a lot better.

No afters with the halogens? I really like seeing the befores and afters with them.

Word.

I've noticed this happening more and more often, and I'm a cranky jerk about it. You bring it up much more eloquently than me.

Re: Badly swirled black Suburban

Black suburbans are killer to correct. They are always swirled and they take a long time to work on. Swirlburban as a like to call them. Great work on this one, The m105 looks like it did a nice job.
