I suck at photographing my car but I think you'll be able to see the difference anyway.

She didn't look so bad to me until I looked closer with a critical eye:

As you can see from the crappy quality of the working shots, I did it mostly at night in the garage after work a little bit at a time. Too damn hot here to work on it outside during the day. I think altogether it took me aboout 13 hours over a week and a half for the exterior. I worked very slowly and meticulously. I got quicker as I learned what I was doing. I discovered that my finish was much worse than I thought and I porbably should have used a stronger polish like Menzerna Power Gloss to get the heaviest scratches out. Next time.

Nice job, BB! Lookin great. The high powered spotlight always shocks people. I had a co-worker of mine tell me her paint was spotless on a white car. It did look good when washed. She came over day to pick up some materials for a meeting and I was waxing my car. We decided to check her paint out under the light and she was shocked...

Looks like I have a potential customer now.

Nice work, looks hot, it's been about 6 months since I've hit mine up with the PC, amazing how quickly our BO's turn back into a surface full of swirls in the right lighting. You did a great job, now as usual with our BO's, good luck maintaining it!!!
