Good god I had no idea what I was getting myself in to.. It was a HUGE undertaking for one person, but it was an experience none the less. As the pictures can tell, it's not 100% perfect and I think it has to do with the abilities of the PC not matching up to the abilities of the Polish. My next purchase after some more carnuba and some synthetic will be a metabo. As far as products go.. OH MY did I love the Uber Glass towels by detailers domain they are by far the BEST glass towels I have laid my hands on, and will buy more, along with all my products! I am super pleased with everything that DD has provided me! Anyways.. it could've been better but after 10 hours I was spent!

the paint looks very nice, but the tires look very dirty

Great job, that car was beat up.

Nice work! I still remember my first black GM truck detail....my own.



It is hard work making those Grabber sidewalls look good...any idea what the owner did to scratch up his fender liner so badly?

Thanks for the kind words! It's just the flash making the tires look dirty.



As far as the fender wells go, that's actually dried gum or a sticky of some sort. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it was a pain in the *** to get it off! As you can see, there's still some traces, but the entire 4 wells were COVERED in that stuff.
