here are some before and after pics of my gf`s mom`s car. the car hadn`t been washed in a year, and when it did get washed, it was through the drive through washes.



Rotary w/ DACP with medium cut pad and light pad.

PC w/ 3M SMR with polishing pad

Klasse SG x 1



apparently the pics are too big to post and i have no clue on the resizing and crap so here are the links. hope thats not too much of a pain in the *** for you guys. thanks again.

Great transformation! I bet your gf`s mom was impressed. She probably didn`t recognize her own car. :bounce

thank you everyone for your nice comments.

tdekany-it took about three and half to four hours or so(exterior only). i don`t really remember exactly. it was just a fun job to work on because it was so bad and nobody really thought that it would come back. i really enjoy detailing, its extremly relaxing for me and its instant gratification. she was EXTREMELY surprised when i rolled up with her "new" car. i saw it a few days later after a nice rain and it was convered in water beads, she was very impressed. thanks again everyone for the comments.

Gonzo- yes i am already very hooked on detailing. although this is my first post on here (i think), i have done numerous jobs. unfortunately i don`t have a digi cam so i have no way to show off my work. I would also love to buy more products but i am back at WSU now for another 8 months and i don`t work as much up here so spending money on products wouldn`t be the brightest idea right now. I am kinda just doing research, research, and more research so when i do make my next purchases (probably before Winter break) i will buy exactly what i want. I am in the market to try new polishes and maybe some new pads as well for my Makita and for my pc. I am very happy with SG but would love to try some Wolfgang on some metallics and also try some EX/EX-p. but oh well.... now i`m just going on and on. thanks again guys for checking out my work.
