*This thread has turned into a Click and Brag concerning my Buick, see 2 posts down. LOL



I was at my cousin's detailing his car today.. I wandered over to my aunt's Escape...



I just did the one spot furthest to the left with DACP x3, SSR x1.

I kind of regretting not getting before pic's of my Buick because this was exactly how I got it.

Very nice Paul! I suppose your aunt will want you to do all of her Escape now. How is your Regal coming along?

I am not willing to spend another 10 hours anytime soon on her Escape.



As for the Regal - After 15 hours, she is done.

These pics aren't the greatest but tough. :D



The line-up finished like so

3M Perfect It II x1

DACP x3

SSR1 x1

VM x2

Souveran x1 by hand.

Ooh ah wow... You can tell you put 15 hours into the paint. I don't think it probably left the factory looking that good. Love the tint and the wheels. I think you have the best looking Regal I've ever seen!



I now have something to strive for with my paint! :eek:

Thanks! I really appreciate the comments. It's hard to get people to actually notice a difference!



I ended up destroying 1 orange pad, and wore out my second one severely, it's not orange anymore. My polishing pad also blew up.
 
Am I hallucinating or are some of those pictures older than the others because the wheels appear different in several of the shots. Some have factory Buick wheels, and some the aftermarket.

I just put the wheels on last week. other pics are 2-3 weeks old.
 
I see. I don't really even like Buicks, but yours looks very clean with those new wheels and all blacked out. Nicely done. I would actually take that car at this stage in my life (two kids). What kind of mileage does it get?
