    Semi finished and cant see clarity from my SD400 digital.. i will take pictures with my EOS30D tmrw..

    Night pics.. didnt get a chance to wax the rest of the body but i took some quick snaps after the Menz sealant.. I have to say it easy to use.. apply thin and wipe and buff and enhance the paintwork a lot better...

    Now the FINALE.. you be the judge of these pictures... i had to sneak in a private GOLF CLUB... i've always pass by there and it is simply amazing.. the scenery, pond, green grass, ducks... so peaceful.. But one of the guys scrolling with a golf cart approached me and I told him I was just snapping pics of the scenery and he was nice.. he gave me a litlle history.. told me to just sign up on the Club is $50,000 alone and the lowest privelage..
    ---> I took my EOS30D camera with me

    btw.. Collinite prewax cleaner really cleans and easy application and easy buff off... the paint was nice, smooth, and would just glide effortless...my favorite...

    Usjdmtuner Wax on..Wax off

    no... i only used menz ip and m105 on the area where i wetsanded... I used mostly 3M ultrafina on the rest of the body. Menz fa on some areas but i prefered 3m since i was using all 3M and it produced a nice finish..it took me from 11:30 till 5pm of polishing i think.. i started my process at 9:30pm and finished at 8pm... it was a long day....
