Not quite like the McCartney/Wonder song with the extra ebony is it?
1988 BMW 535. This is the third time I've detailed the exterior of this car, the owner is good about having me come back out before it gets oxidized again. Since it is the original single stage paint and has been polished deeply twice, now the goal is to maintain the finish while removing a minimum of paint to keep the oxidation at bay.

3D Trim Protectant on the bumpers

2011 Nissan Maxima. We did the original polish and wax when it was new several months ago. The owner is now at a location that while make it a lot easier for us to have access to it for more regular detailing. Paint still looked to be 95% swirl free so no need to get aggressive

2012 Mercedes C250. Brand new car, owner has had it about a week. There were a couple areas with rotary holograms, leading me to believe that was done on the assembly line after painting and not the dealer. Usually if the swirls are from the dealer, they cover the entire car. Also had some light spider swirling in the rock hard ceramiclear paint so no choice but to get at least moderately aggressive to remove them. The owner was very interested in seeing how ONR works, says he will probably make the switch after seeing how easy it is to wash with.

I left my new camera at my sister's house after Memorial Day, pictures were taken by me and my customer using our cellphones so please excuse the quality.
