    I won't be able to polish and seal for next couple of weeks.

    Is that a bad thing??

    No. Take your time and do it right. You just need to wash it again and ready to finish it of.

    Re: No time to polish. Is that bad??

    What Bunky said. I have the same problem. I can never get enough hours in the shade to do my whole car. If I get 1/3 of it done in a day I've done well. As Bunky said, just be sure to wash etc. again.
    Next time just pick a section you're going to do (other than wash the entire car 'coz it would look funny) and do everything you know you can finish that day, then continue on as time permits until completed. Hope this helps.

    Looks GREAT! Love that last reflection "selfie" shot. I also like your work environment for its space. Import some critical lighting and your all set. The fun part now is driving it and seeing rain beads fly off.

    Nice correction! And YOU did that...not a paid professional, an unpaid professional hobbyist!

    Very nice, the 50/50 shot looks great! There is nothing like the feeling of stepping back and seeing a nice swirl free finish.

    Re: No time to polish. Is that bad??

    Since I don't have DA, I hand polish my car. Last time when I polished, I did one panel at a time. Plan was simple, wash the panel>polish it> seal it. Due to lack of time, it took me several days to finish. When finished, just washed it once again.
