    That looks interesting, what exactly did you edit?

    I know what you mean about detailing vehicles that have been neglected for a very long time, it's a pain to remove swirls and it takes a long process.

    The pictures look god, just curious about the editing that's all.

    Thanks for sharing....pst I hope there are more pictures

    more pictures tomorrow.


    if you look, i photoshopped the pics so you can see the swirls better (so they can't hide in the white).

    btw, here's one more i took, kinda blurry though



    BTW, not done with it yet.. that;s just the major swirls... still gotta finish

    That's what Menzerna polishes are for. You will defenetely need some PO106FF ($50 a bottle ). This stuff rocks!!!

    I agree on BMW clear. I no longer even attempt them with the PC - straight to rotary.
