The poop was one thing but the swirl marks really took the cake...looks like some one else tried to polish the paint....man those were nastry swirl marks.

You sure did a nice job turning it around though, well done.

Me too, I like blue and you sure made that blue shine.

Thanks for sharing.

Great job! You got that blue looking awesome! Great job fixing some other detailers mistakes. Are these what you call "buffer trails?" Guess that came from a rotary?

I skipped from 3 to 1 because I bought the intermediate swirl kit and I didn't bother to purchase the 2 separate. :D Also I was pressed for time because I was doing it while she was at work. I hate working against the clock!

I don't think I've ever seen a show and shine where they went from 3/2/1. Has anyone done it and what were your results?

As I was doing the car I noticed one light was cloudy and one was new. Also when I did the pax fender it made a horrible vibration sound. I asked her if it had been wrecked and she said "yeah during an ice storm". Apparently the hood was replaced and I guess whoever painted it left those "buffer trails"...

Thanks for all the comments!
