[specr89]

well, i finally got to detailing my 1st car properly`ish today. It was a hand me down from my bro, but it will do for highschool. I love this sucker.



Anyways, I only got the hood done, but youll get the idea. I think the results were pretty good. Not perfect, though.



EVERYTHING WAS DONE BY HAND!



Steps/Products used:

3m Perfect It II Rubbing Compound

Stratch X

Megs #7 Show Car Glaze

Megs Gold Class Wax

And tons of foam pads, MF`s, and terry towels



And here we go!



Befores: badly oxidized, bird etchings, water spots, extensive swirls

Big improvement! You should be able to get most, if not all of the remaining swirls out once you get your PC. :)
