I think Tonya meant, ARO.....Amazing Roll-Off.

Very nice work, Tonya! That car looks great! Paint looks smooth and wet. Nice reflections too! Wheels and tires are outstanding. All this by hand....no wonder you're tired. Soon it'll be time for a PC or UDM. :D
Love the Sparkie-like final pic. LOL :awesome:

Tonya, do yourself a big favor and buy a PC.....you'll be blown away by the results compared to doing it by hand, although you did an excellent job and the car looks great! You're a good student:cheers:

[Jimmie]

Great job Tonya. You picked up on picture posting in a hurry. I need to ask you for tips on posting.

OK Ready, :D :D :D











Sparkie toes or Sparkle toes. Very similar camera shots. j/k:)

[dontsleeponit]

looks great, awesome reflecton shots... I was wondering was the ARO much stronger then the DP Gel? Could you have just used it first by itslef, or did you need the DP Gel?
