Anyone else????

Looks good man. When polishing, try not to make such big circular rotations just to be sure and get every area equally, and make sure you get ALL the way up to those trims! dont want to leave anything out, right? haha. Otherwise, much better right-up this time. and nice afters.

The above posts pretty much covered it. I`m assuming your polishing by hand too?



On a side note, how do you get in your car haha? I cant see a door handle in the picture of the side shot.

I post in EVERYONE ONE of your threads you created in the last week or so and I just want to know are you deleting them or are the mods? but here i go again!!:cooleek:



Are you going to stick to OTC products? No disrespect, I have seen lots of good results with OTC stuff, but Turtle Wax Polishing Compound? by hand too?



PLEASE DON`T Delete this thread (if you are doing it)!!:nixweiss



I really don`t know what to say (with constructive criticism) because I don`t know what you have to work with. I have looked through your click and brags, (i think you last one was a neon (but got deleted))(and it looked really bad) but not bad if you are not a pro detailer, or don`t own any polishers. Which I don`t think you do(apply Turtle Wax Polishing Compound by hand)? Sometime you say you use a rotary, but these pictures are clearly done by hand? So I don`t know what to say...



I also know you are only 16, so you can`t be TOO pro? I know there are alot of young detailers these days but you can`t have too much experience at your age. No disrespect again but just saying what I think, and saying I can`t be to critical with you work!

Looks like a fun car! What`s under the hood?

Great looking car, nice work man. Love the interior.



If you haven`t already, I think you should invest in either a Dual Action or a Rotary. It`s worth it.

Also, maybe you should look into getting other products if you have the funds.



A little off topic, but got any plans for the engine ? Could also PM me if you like.
