Excessive Detail

Hey guyz, I promised some detail pics of the show truck I had posted a while back. This was no easy detail, the truck was still being worked on and most of it was above my head. Still I managed and it came out pretty good. I only did the paint, cause the truck wasn't finished till the next day. I don't have pics of the finished truck, but I will have them soon.
Process:
Since the truck was still new I figured I'd use a light combo, but boy as I fooled, as soon as I put some light on it all the scratches and scuffs came out, which was somewhat understandable being that its been in a shop for the last few months and people touched on a daily basis. I managed to get about 90% out.
I started with OPT. Polish and green edge pad, then followed with OPT. Polish, which is my new favorite line of polish, and a orange edge pad, which worked out great till my green edge pad fell apart and I managed to make a blue edge pad explode while attempting to use it as the final polish, that why I wound up using the orange pad. I seem to have a problem with that, luckly I was able to finish it with the orange pad, took a little longer, but it came out perfect. I sealed it with WG and topped it with Pinn. Soveran, amazing. It looked good sitting on the rack, hope it looked good at the show. Here are the pictures.
