My schedule has been pretty busy recently, so I`m posting up a lot of pictures. This car looked much worse than pictures showed in the befores. Problem areas of tar that wasn`t removed by clay, I tried a little bit of Acetone. Got it off, and it looked perfect again after I washed the residue off.



Wash with Meguiars Soft Touch





SSR 2.5 x3 by PC #6 on LC Cutting Pad then Polishing Pad

Klasse AIO brought a little bit of warmth to the paint

Klasse SG make the paint look WET!

Megs Hot Shine on tires

Wheel Wells with AA



I was amazed how wet the paint looked. I mean, it was DRIPPING! Qualities I`ve never seen from Klasse.

Thanks. I found anouther one of the owner learning the PC skills. He said he`d rather come back to me next year, too much work. :p

Great job!



A couple of observations and questions,



SSR 2.5 X3 ... that must have taken hours? The swirls all appear to have gone in the after shots, had they actually gone - some swirls are only visible in direct sunlight, like the first pics show.



What process did you use to apply SG, my first (and only) experience with SG was that I applied by hand, and managed to get too much SG on there, and it was a nightmare trying to get it off again!



Once again, superb job you did :cool:

The swirls were nearly completely gone. hood still had a couple, but it wasn`t that bad. It didn`t take long, as I work the product on 6 and use a lot of pressure.



SG and AIO was by hand, with the WO WO method.
