Trippy shot of the day, like a hand is reaching out from the paint!

Thanks for looking! :usa
 
Good job--the car looks great! Awesome picture taking too.



"Does that thing have a hemi in it?". Haven't heard that commercial in a while.
 
Excellent job! Those reflection pics are just amazing and the depth is unbelievable.

The hand picture is haunted:eek:!
 
Very Nice... Looks great.....

got the same car and color.....

I like how the gold flake in the paint pops in the sun.



How long did you work each section with the UC ?



I'm planning on hitting it with some 106ff to remove some defects but haven't decided on a LSP?



Maybe some Red Moose then #845

or

Danase Wet Glaze and Opti-Seal.



nice hand pic !!!
 
Thanks for the comments guys! The UC is great. I actually liked it better for this car than my new M105 that just came in the mail. Maybe it was the temperature or the humidity but the UC finished off much nicer than the M105. Didn't have to work the UC too long, just a few minutes for it to break down and get transparent. Heavier pressure at first then light pressure for the last few passes.



M205 is awesome, very smooth and easy to work with & remove. Topped off with my new favorite wax Meg's #26.



I spent about 7 hours total on this car including wash/clay/wheels/tires. This was another "practice polishing" car so not a full in & out detail. The roof and hood are huge. You really have to break them up into 4 sections to work them right.



Anyway, not too long of a day and got a nice result.



I'll break out the polisher again next Saturday. :)

Nice job. It's nice to see what UC can do. M105 has been getting all the exposure, but I'm glad to see some people using UC also. :2thumbs:

That's because in the last year or so all the homo liberals want people to talk about fuel efficiency and nothing else...like the silverado commercials that stress they get 1 mpg more than the Tundra - 21 v 20. Who gives a shit? You're buying a full size truck *** do you expect and why do you care?



BTW - Chrysler's metallic black is called Brilliant Black

Well, not to get too picky about it :wavey it's "Brilliant Black Metallic Pearlcoat" at least on my 05 Magnum RT - and when it's done right (like this one!) it's absolutely gorgeous.



But when it's bad, it's very very bad...



Nice ride man..
