phew, I`m tired. This car gave me a work out. It was a basic detail, wash/clay/wash/OP/Menz Glaze/845. Let me say that the passenger side of this car needs much more than just a regular polish. It needs some serious rotary work. For what the job was scheduled for though, I did my best w/o killing myself. Overall, the car had some serious fallout on it, oxidation, swirling and scratching.

only took the one bar. The car is pretty small. Had it been a truck/large suv, it might have been a different story.

:eek: Those were some horrible swirls!
Even if you didn`t remove them completely, the car looks 1000% better. Very rich shine. :)

I like the antlers and red nose! Nice work, that thing must have went through the swirl-o-matic several times before you got ahold of it.

unfortunately no afters in the sun. The sun sets behind those trees and since the sun was down pretty low, I couldnt grab any shots. I wasn`t able to remove all the scratches, it just wasnt happening w/ what I attacked it w/. If he wants me to attempt to actually give it a shot, I might be able to remove a larger % of them w/ some 4" pads and ohc or something, but I`m not even 100% sure the pc is up for this one.
