I was super happy with the detail, and the results that Intensive polish gave me. Toyota paint is soft, very soft, I was able to eliminate all those marks with just increasing the pressure I applied while breaking down the polish. Intensive polish has diminishing abrasives (those who didn`t know) which is awesome i might add.

Unfortunatley the owner was in a rush so I was unable to snap any whole vehicle, also I didn`t have my wide anlge on me and I was not feeling very srtistic that day. Sorry dudes, but stay tuned I got a 97` Jaguar XJ6 up next.
