phew, I'm tired. This car gave me a work out. It was a basic detail, wash/clay/wash/OP/Menz Glaze/845. Let me say that the passenger side of this car needs much more than just a regular polish. It needs some serious rotary work. For what the job was scheduled for though, I did my best w/o killing myself. Overall, the car had some serious fallout on it, oxidation, swirling and scratching.

only took the one bar. The car is pretty small. Had it been a truck/large suv, it might have been a different story.
 
:eek: Those were some horrible swirls!



Even if you didn't remove them completely, the car looks 1000% better. Very rich shine. :)
 
I like the antlers and red nose! Nice work, that thing must have went through the swirl-o-matic several times before you got ahold of it.

Matrix looks good. Do you have any direct sun after pics?



Oh, nice antlers btw.

unfortunately no afters in the sun. The sun sets behind those trees and since the sun was down pretty low, I couldnt grab any shots. I wasn't able to remove all the scratches, it just wasnt happening w/ what I attacked it w/. If he wants me to attempt to actually give it a shot, I might be able to remove a larger % of them w/ some 4" pads and ohc or something, but I'm not even 100% sure the pc is up for this one.
