I beileve that I have deleted the befores that were taken awhile back. Sorry. No sun shots either.

I wish I had 14 hours to work on it but I only had 7 hours to play with. So the car isn't 100%. More like 90%. But that is alot considering what it looked like before.

Process:

wash
clay
Powergloss 1700rpm white pad whole car
EC foamed wool pad 1700rpm (trunk/hood)
SIP green pad 1500 rpm
sip orange pad pc
sip white pad pc
Poli Seal pc white pad
CG's extreme coat pc green finishing pad
grape dressing on tires

While the menzerna polishes dusted today they worked very well on this extremely hot black paint.

PS: I love PG!!!!!!!!!!! The finish it left behind was beautiful.

why so many steps in polishing?

yes, i wonder why you did so many steps. but to achieve results like those, i guess thats just what it takes.

Super clear reflections.

*ussually* after heavy compounding with wool you have to take a few extra steps in polishing with foam to fix it.

Honestly i think its 1 step to many but of course i wasnt there and do not know how this paint reacted to what he was doing.

Gorgeous Thomas!

The E39 looks awesome!

How did you do that many polishing steps in 7 hours?

Very wet, mirror like finish!

That's a lot of steps! Great job!

Thomas- Any reason using PG vs EC? Ever since I have used EC, I never really touch my PG anymore.
