Merlin:
ANOTHER black vehicle that benefits from your master`s touch using Meg`s new/revamped M110 compound and M210 polish.
The rear fender before/after pics is truly transformational.

Oh yah, thanks for CarPro Red Painter`s Tape job pics. WHY? They are part of the detailing process that is often overlooked OR not done at all and it is always "interesting" to see how much of the vehicle is taped off and how neatly it was done what it looks like. My tape jobs look like a first-grader`s science project. (Yes, I am envious, to say the least!)

ONE Captain Obvious question:
What did you use on the chrome trim and chrome wheels? They REALLY shine and set this Black Cat off.

ANOTHER Black Car of Darth Vader`s vast vehicle collection? Great detailing workmanship, Merlin! Thanks for posting and sharing the pics.

1) Yepper, I go through a LOT of tape! It is worth the effort.
2) Poorboys World Paste Mirror Shine Chrome Metal Polish.
