    heres a close up of what the paint looks like. you can still see some awful spiderwebbing, so im thinking that maybe i should get that vanilla moose product to take care of that. also, it doersnt really shave that really big reflection that many of you guys have anyways, here it is

    heres the hood of the car. pretty nice relfection, although it could probably be a lot better. im thinking of maybe getting the poorboys professional polish to go along with the ssr2 and ssr1

    finally, heres a closeup of the back side of the car. it may look a little bit faded because my camera had the flash on.

    Tyler...

    I don`t think the spiderwebbing is all that aweful. You probably need to do a couple more passes with SSR2 and work it in well.

    Otherwise...the relfections look very deep and wet.

    Good Job

    i was thinking of maybe trying the vanilla moose wax to solve that problem of spiderwebbing, lets see if that works. i did a couple passes withe ssr2 at about speed 5.

    in the end, i charged her 20 bucks for it, beacuse she was my mom`s sister, and she didnt wanna pay anything more... should i have pushed for more, or is 20 good enough for the job?
