    Took around 10 hours over 2 days to fix the dealership prep.

    Process:

    Q&EW
    D300.MF pads
    205 black pad
    HD Cut in some places
    IPA wipe
    Opti Guard
    3D tire shine

    Paint/trim/windows/wheels coated.


    I had very little space to work this time, so not a huge variety of shots.

    The hood had a pretty large scratch, that the dealer's detailer "buffed" out (8-9 microns were removed)

    Looks like he was called away after the first step and didn't have time to finish the project :D

    I am very happy with my whole Micro fourthird (M4/3) system. Small package with Fantastic results. This macro lens is very new but according to reviews, one of the sharpest. However you will need an M4/3 body.
