Love this reflection because it really is a light color and so hard to get a reflection on :)

The next day I am washing my car when a neighbor down the street stops by and says he saw me "out buffing" and was asking me about it, so I told him breifly about how PC's work, etc, and told him I do it on the side, so I went down to give him a quote on his 96 (or 97, cant remember) CRV, he was talking to me about it, and it's filthy, he is sittinig there rubbing his hand on the dirt on the paint :scared I told him that is what causes swirls and scratches and so on. He kept asking how good it would look, so I told him to come down I would do a little section just to show him, he was impressed, so I am going to do it for him. His wife even came down later and was looking at my cars :lol



Before, nasty swirls

Good job there! Wish I had that luck. Nobody I know gives a hoot about what shape there car is in. I mean, your house and car, regardless of price should be your pride and joy. If it's a beater, that's a different story. But if it's the main car and could be looking like new, why not do it? sorry... Lettin off steam... or is that gas? Either way, very nice job. Bet they didn't even think twice about them monster swirls before, huh.
 
Nice work on both! Really impressive with the CRV, the metallic looks like it wants to jump out of the paint. :up
 
Thanks for the compliments :)



jrocc1212 - agreed, even my beater gets taken care of, I spent a few hours on it today ;)



sQuashed - Sorry, no pics of the wife ;) :lol



Here is the beater after a little work today... wash, #80 with an orange pad, and then AIO (yes I know I didn't put a towel down, but it's the beater, and I wasn't tooooo worried about it :lol )... 9 yrs old and spent it's whole life outside...and dealt with dawn wash and old bath towels before I knew better :(

Too funny there, sQuashed! This ain't Lowrider forums, man. Actually, from the title, it sounds more like the girl next door posing with wife's car. I just don't know
