This car came from a recommendation by someone on Autopia! Thanks. The owner had a detail company do the car and they told him "there's always going to be swirls"....what an answer.

So, I had him bring the car to the house for a 6 hour session. There weren't any deep scratches and I ended up using Pinnacle XMT 2, then XMT 360 for any random stuff. Finally, applied a coat of Meguiar's #21 and this is the result.

He's pretty pleased and will let me know if any spots have been missed. The sun would peek out every now and then, so I might have not caught them all.

Next up was a couple of white Bimmers...a 330Xi and a 330Ci Convertible. Lots of light scratches, but ended up using System One with wool to remove. Followed that with 3M Dark Glaze and a coat of Meguiar's #26.

Now, I gotta find the interior pics I took of the convertible....sheesh! Old age is kicking in.

Very nice Toto! Of course I was expecting a black bimmer. That's a strange looking hood on the Z.

Cars look great!

I think that's the new factory hood due to the larger intake manifold on the new 3.5L motors.

Very nice job, the red 350Z came out stunning!

Nice job on the BMW's too, I didn't know that white cars can show swirl marks like that.

Really, I can't say that I like the look.
