..............Thanks ! about 6 hours , including a run to the hardware store for the "Blue" masking tape ...........I'm sure I "overkilled" a few elements and could knock off an hour easily, but I learned the power of the "orbital"............ WOW, this is the secret of detailing. I know I was dealing with a pretty clean car to start with , BUT , the difference was night and day ! I did the exact same process with my 07 , and while I thought the outcome was great it was nowhere near this result...............and in honesty the pictures don't really show how good the end result is ...............

Especially white is not an easy colour to show the reflections.
Great work

................pretty soon the car becomes a relatively small expense...............it's all the other "stuff" that really adds up
