Rotary:

I broke out the Rotary, OP, and a black 6.5 LC pad from this point on.

Ahh, perfection.

Day 2.

I work up at the crack of dawn to get the detail done before the football games started. I knew I had a long day ahead of me.

It's always important to brush your pad with a stiff brush in between panels to avoid dusting and the pad gumming up.

Looks great Don!

More pics of the Softail ;) Or is it a 'glide?

Good work! it must of been PITA polishing that hood!

wow! awesome before and after pics

Thanks!

I had more, but I'm not sure what happened to them. The bike isn't mine, I believe it's a sportster with the biggest engine available. The paint is pretty nice, purple with a gold flake.

Did you get my PM btw?

Thanks! Yes, the hood is always a bunch of fun.

Nice job, Don.
