    Ok here is one of my details from last week that took me around 16 hours but in the end the car turned out great! When I first got to the garage and pulled the car out for inspection I knew I had my hands full. Here are a few pictures of the car before the wash.















    After washing the car with the two bucket method using Dawn soap to remove any previous waxes I found some major swirls!



















    I then pulled the car in and looked at what I wanted to start with first. I first started with Menz IP with a LCC orange cutting pad but it wasn`t cutting the swirls out. I then with a green pad and it still wasn`t putting in a dent. I then decided to go with 3M Polish with a LCC orange cutting pad and it seemed to be doing the job.



    Before





    After





    Here are some half and half shots after one pass.













    After finishing the car with two passes the paint looked much better but there was some still swirls so I decided to go with Menz FP with a LCC white polishing pad.



    Here are a few pictures of the car out in the sun!























    After pulling it back in I decided on using Zaino Z-5pro 4 times with Z8 grand Finale spray in between each coat.

    continued...:waxing:



























































    All chrome was done with Never Dull finish and the tires were not touched since requested by the owner.



    Thanks,
