Its been a while since I posted some pics of my car. I got my porter cable polisher this week along with m105 and m205. I'm a complete noobie with polishing, I took a stab at it. My hood had some hardcore swirls and scratched in it, I need a heavier pad to get some of the scratches out but it removed about 95% of them. Maybe I'm doing the wrong technique but I'm still learning. It took me over 2 hours to do the hood. I clayed it and did 105 then 205. I think it came out pretty good, I need to take some better pics. My camera is acting up. Also my left headlight was HORRIBLY scratched. I'm talking it looks like someone got 100 grit sandpaper and scratched the entire left headlight. Ive been going a few months with the headlight like that. I wetsanded it last week but it still didn't look good because I didn't have a polisher. I used some m205 on it and it looks 100% better now.

I've polished the hood and trunk so far.





I got alot of respect for professional detailers, its alot of work.

 

take some better pics of that beauty.....what the hell are you thinking giving us photos like that? jk phil but for real pull it out of the garage and give that car some more love.

 

What kind is it? How much were the smokes?

 

Ohh..
Porter cable 7242, The smoke is right on the legal limit I believe. I paid $40 for them painted.

 

The cars looks great Phil, nice job on the waxing - looks like th paint is wet, perfect

 

Looks Great !

I've been doing my own detailing for almost 2 years now. Its definitely the way to go.
You'll get the hang of it...practice makes perfect.

 

Looking good Phil.

 

Your car gives a better reflection than my bathroom shaving mirror. What's wrong with you, Man? You're gonna have all sorts of wierdos wanting to use it to shave...

 

looks good

 

PJ, totally unrelated, but it looks like your steelers finally got their number 7......... loss.

To the OP, beautiful looking car.
