First black car detail

[sixsix]

So this is my sister in law's car, it was a swirled out mess. I've been wanting to polish it out for a while now, to try to test and hone my skills. I only buy white cars so this was deff something different for me. Any who, my wal mart had some megs micro fiber cutting disks on sale so I got a pack of them and some ultimate compound to try with it. I figured I really can't make the car look any worse, and even if I did she wouldn't notice. So I washed, clayed and went to town on it. The mf pad/UC combo did leave some slight haze on the paint and I got that taken care of with some blackfire polish on a white ccs pad. It came out pretty nice. It's no where near 100%...the bumpers are trashed and there are some larger chips here and there, but it deff looks a lot better. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Next I'm gonna tackle my mother in laws dark blue ford edge, which is in similar shape.

Haha yeah man I try to tell her to be careful getting in the car, but it's like talking to a brick wall. She has to attack the door upon entry. She never washes the car either, so it should stay swirl free for a while.

Great fix:)

Good job on the door handle, and underneath it. It requires a good amount of finessing, and caution.

Nice job on the turnaround! Keep up the good work!

I wonder if she is opening the door with the keys in the same hand

Does she put her purse on the trunk deck while searching for keys?
