Not the best detail in the world, but not too shabby either.

Ok. My neighbor asked if I could help her out with a scratch on her hood. Some little girl that lives in the same culdesac decides to run her nail across the hood of her car.:rolleyes:



Here's the process I used:



-Automagic Clay w/ FI

-DACP w/yellow LCM pad

-#9 w/ white pad

-2 coats of NXT



Well, the end result was definately 100% improvement, but I just wasn't satsified. It still just didn't look right. I think I could've done better with maybe some diamond cut compound. I just wish I had some. Anyways, here's the before and afters. What you guys think???

Indeed! Can I borrow some eggs? Can I borrow your edger? Will you take scratches off of my car? One of these things is not like the other... Excellent work. I have yet to cooperate with DACP but it is clear that the product works!

In the after pics there doesnt appear to be any eral flaws. Excellent work, looks sooooo much better than the before pics.
 
Yes, I agree that the pics are definately a huge improvement. The thing is that you can't really see the areas up close. I dunno, it just doesn't seem perfect compared to others' work. Like I want it to be comparable to something that Scottwax would do.



Also, another thing that brought me down was that my neighbor just didn't seem really impressed. I put extra effort into it so that she might come out with a "wow" or something. She just looked at it and said "Yup, definately better".



Not what I was expecting.

:( :( :( :(
 
Its going to take time, effort, and practice to get it to look like scottwax. Dont be discouraged, looks great.



Thats girls for you, my girl was so excited when I went to detail her car. I did EVERYTHING, came out as perfect as could be. Spent about 8 hours on it. She came out looked at it and went "nice"



I felt like running a brillo pad over the car and telling her to fix it herself :rolleyes:



She later disclosed to me how she really felt about the job I did on the car, and acknowledged how she felt she didnt give me enough initial praise. Women are just like that when it comes to this stuff.
 
I don't know. My wife loves when I detail her car. I don't know if it's because black cars just look great when detailed out with a good wax or something. She make a genuine big deal out of it. She asks me to detail the car out now.........
 
:nixweiss Looks really good to me. I don't know that I could have done any better than you did. Be happy with the work you did.
