    Detailed front clip of F150

    Well spent the weekend in Georgia with the folks to half some good family fun. Originally I had hope to detail my moms Focus but she let my older brother borrow it the day of the "detail" so he could go fishing (basturd lol). Any who I figured I'd play with my optimum polish and compound, Edge orange,green pad, and Sig II.
    Subject-04' F-150 bright red
    Wash
    No clay (still very smooth since last clay)
    Optimum Compound/polish
    Edge pads (orange/green)
    I couldn't get it to a perfect surface dispite the 2 hours I spent just on the front 2 fenders and hood. I tried switching chemicals and pads evey which way but was still left with very fine very small scratches. It was great practice which I was very happy about as I need it. Just haven't figured it out just yet. I will say that Sig II was an absolute joy to use and smell (fruity) and yeiled absolutly amazing results. On to the pics











    And you have to love 12 Acres of peace and quit (not even half way)
