Text from the first two pics of that Camaro I posted last time:
The exterior got Optimum's Hyper Compound using a Lake Country cutting pad and I notice no marring at all, this car definitely had some hard paint! HC did a great job on the sides and back but did only so-so on the repainted hood. I think a lot of the problems are under the clear though (and you can see in the front shot the color doesn't match too well) so not much can be done other than give it more shine. I then followed with Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze and a Lake Country polishing pad. I went with #80 for its light filling properties, definitely made the hood look better. I finished with Poorboy's Natty's Blue Paste by hand.

Acrylic Jett appearance at 3.5 months (applied in late October 05, pics taken on 2/07/06). The look of Acrylic Jett really holds up well, and the slickness is still very good. This Lexus is washed a couple times a month by me using QEW until early this year when Optimum No Rinse became available.
...and a high resolution shot, linked so it doesn't stretch the page:

I detailed the exterior of this 2006 BMW 330ci in mid December (this is the one with the nasty dealer tire dressing sling) using Werkstatt's Prime and Acrylic Jett. I took these shots after washing it with Optimum No Rinse (ONR?) on 02/08/06, so the application of the Werkstatt twins is nearly 2 months old. Still has a nice wet look and very good slickness. The pics of the original detail were a bit dark, these ones are definitely better and show off the lines of the final un-Bangles 330ci.
