    Once again, another great job. You really bought the yellow back to that Hummer.

    Very nice

    Yellow is one of those colors that doesn't seem to show the magnitude or effort taken to really make it stand out. The before and after photos are like night and day and the yellow simply glows.

    1-Step products have come along way through the years, care to share which one you used here?

    One great finish and at 106F I'll bet you were glad it was done...

    Looks great! One just like that parks next to me in the parking garage. Yellow too! Always think it would be a pita to detail. The windows are so tiny... theres a lot of painted surface area to deal with there.

    Good job. Working in the sun with this heat is the most difficult thing. What did you use for correction?
