Nice job, but I hate thumbnails.

That's the mother of all scratches! (first photo)
Did you have to use touch up paint?

That is a massive improvement and one heck of a first detail.
Nice job.

That one was fresh...no touch up paint. I was surprised when I went out there and he had it buffed out.

I am also younger and into the car hobby, Its a good skill to know when you get older and see that all men like to take care of their vehicles lol

Well not ALL men. lol I came across quite a few over the years in the tire business that I don't think could check their oil. Cars are a great hobby though!! Trying to get a project car for my son and I to restore. One of my neighbors has a '70 Chevelle I'm trying to talk him out of. What kind of tires did you end up getting?

My 2006 Audi S4 that I picked up a few weeks ago is in about the same situation. Black with neglected paint. I've been stalking the forums the last few days learning and planning my attack. Hopefully I can get similar results out of my car. Good job

I was really impressed with the hyper polish. I think the spray is great to use as well. I wish I would have ordered the hyper compound. The 105 did great...but in the heat down here the hyper seemed to stay workable longer. I'm sure yours will turn out great.
