thanks for looking
 
forgot all about the this. thanks for the bump. yeah this car was waste never looked like a detailer owned it



i took those temp shots to show how much heated i generated on the 6.5" pads after a panel. i have the shots from the 4" pads somewhere.
 
nevermind flash or no flash.. job looks great.. car detailing is all about optical illusion.. Even though im a Audi fanatic myself, that M3 looks sweeeet!
 
the rest of the car had a close to perfect finish. direct flash for finishing shots dont look good to me. when i check my work ill use the flash of course.

newbish question but did you put the dodo wax on first then jet seal?

JetSeal is a sealant. so after polishing/IPA wipedown, i applied the JetSeal, let it cure and then applied the wax.
