    Amazing work sir!!!! There is nothing more satisfying than working on single-stage paint. It comes alive as you have shown so well!

    seriously impressive results with some pretty basic pads and polishes too. Nothing extremely technical or elaborate and great results. Did you do anything with the gray trim? front bumper looks like it has some staining but i'm thinking it might be damage?

    Thank you Belo.

    Appreciate the kind words. Yeah the exterior trim was pretty weathered & really could’ve done with some Solution Finish to bring it back but it just wasn’t in the budget for this one.
