Sorry, no pictures yet!
I'm just so excited about it I have to shout it out...

So I got my hood scratched few weeks ago. Probably it was a magpie. A bird some of you had never heard before.
That was the last drop to go for a full detail. There was some heavy swirling and even heavier rids in the paint.
I'm kind of a rookie in detailing and I had done some details before. So I was a bit nervous about it.

After some difficulties with finishing I got the results I'm satisfied with. Going to give her a good wash + wax + sealant tomorrow.
I'm lucky having a day off. Maybe pics then...

Now the car looks how it should.

Yeah yeah...
I took lots of pictures today. Too bad the weather was gray all day long, so not a one shiny picture were taken. Just dull "aftermath" pics.
I'll post some in a while.
