    Hello,

    This vehicle belongs to my good friend's girlfriend, NO CHARGE! The car is parked outside under trees most of the time, so the paint was looking a bit dull to say the least. Out with the Power Finish! Came out pretty nice I thought.

    1) Wash with CG Citrus Wash 'n Gloss
    2) Dry with Obsessive Detail Waffle Weave
    3) Menzerna Power Finish on white LC 6.5" pad w/ Flex DA
    4) CG EZ Creme Glaze
    5) CG Jetseal 109
    6) CG Pete's '53

    All these pictures were taken with the new lens I bought yesterday, the Canon 28-135mm.

    Enjoy!

    Looks great P1et! The pictures look great! What's with missing one hubcap? LoL. Oh and I hate how dealers put their vinyls on your car!

    So how do you like the new lens? :)

    Nice Job! Our Lunar Mist Corolla was not even close to the shape you started with. It's a battle I am still working on. Just tough to find the time to get in there and get it done, start to finish.

    Thanks Ken!

    I took off the front hub caps since the brake dust was baked onto the plastic. Had to polish it off with M105 by hand.

    It's all I reach for when doing a one-stepper!

    It never lets me down. It's also nice as for your next step, whether it's sealant or wax, your applicator just glides over the paintwork much nicer.

    Loving it so far, looking forward to use the Image Stabilizer feature! My first lens with that feature...

    Thanks! The lens is treating me well so far, I'll write some more about it in the Photography section once I have taken some nice pics with it...
