Great work as ever Scott. WOW at the MDX ... jaw dropping, depth, gloss, wetness and flake. Amazing look.

Wow, the BMW and MDX really stand out. Very nice.
Scott, what year is your car -how many miles? You take nice care of it.

Scott,
The cars look stunning!
Would you reccomend JW's Prime over AIO?

My 626 is a 1999 and has around 119,500 miles on it. It was hideous when I bought it. As you can see, when I first polished it the car looked horrible in the sun. The rear fender is polished, the door obviously is untouched:
This was after about 20 hours total of polishing and 18 months or so passage of time. I tried to get the angle and exposure the same as the first pick. You can see the sun points are pretty much in the same place and the background shows the same level of exposure. The color of the car is now dramatically different, as in deeper, richer and blacker than the initial (by hand) polishing session.
mystickid-I think you get a somewhat wetter look using prime. I don't know if durability is any better using Prime since both it and AIO do lay down some protection as they clean. Whether or not that truly aids the durability of their respective LSPs, I have no concrete proof. |

Wow! I know the 626 is happy to be in your hands now! The MDX's metallic flakes look absolutely fantastic and the 330ci looks awesome. I like the M3 grille replacement, looks much more aggressive than the standard 330ci grille. All great work!

wOW... great job. I'm especially loving the 626 because my girlfriend's family has one in BEAT up shape (black as well and same model generation) and I'd like to give it a try. That looks BEAUTIFUL.

Holy Sh** Scott. What an improvement! There aren't many black cars on the road with 119K on the clock that look THAT good. Hell, there aren't many black cars with 20K on the clock looking that good.
