Thats one beauty of a car! I love the black on orange look.

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Dang!!! That looks incredible!

[Romans5.8]

Mike that can't be a show car. There aren't any swirls! Where's the cheap spray detailer and dirty terry towel for him to religiously wipe it down with every minute?

:)

Looks fantastic!

I just added the before and after walk-around video. The before portion really shows you just how bad the paint was before we buffed it out.

The after portion shows you what it looks like after going through our show car paint polishing process...

Here's the process pictures...

We used Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with foam polishing pads to remove any and all light or shallow swirls and scratches. I let the guy pick the tools they like to use or want to test out...

Then it's time to glove-up and use the super soft rolled-edge green microfiber towels to carefully remove the wax.

There's plenty of pictures of the outside of the car and I figured you might want to see what it's like to sit behind the steering wheel...

And time to close down Autogeek's Show Car Garage...
