I totally underestimated how long this car would take to complete, but i`m loving the results, the owner was speechless.

Thanks guys, I couldn`t have done it without taking some advice and picking up on tips and techniques from all of you. One day, I`ll be as good as you guys.

[rkf76]

IMO your already there!I think I still have a ways to go, alot of guys are getting great results in half the time it`s taking me. I`m not gonna make any money if I can only do one car per weekend.

Hey rkf76, I actually missed your posting :p . Excellent job there on the S430, the car looks a thousand times better after your magic touch and it seems like all the products combo works out great for you :xyxthumbs .

Ok,



I just gotta ask this question (to anyone). How do you get the scratches out of the area behind the door handles? is there an easy way to do this?



Thanks.

I use Powergloss on a terry towel followed by OP on a terry towel and OPS on a MF towel... it`s a pain in the butt.
