    This JDM banana had swirls, RIDS, marrs, and wax residue.
    The clear coat was rock hard and required more hours than expected to complete.
    Corrected pics only show the first step and not after the second step was done.

    Mirror crevice. The last so called detailer left residue everywhere.

    I always wanted one of those cars. Looks good. Yellow only looks good when freshly detailed. Even a little bad and it just looks like crap. Great turnaround.

    Thanks guys! The weather was funky yesterday and I didn't get the sun shots that I usually do.

    Metallic flake is present

    Nothing worse than having to clean up leftover polish residue. Takes up a LOT of time.

    Very nice job Drew! Yellow is a tough color to work on sometimes, but it looks great when it's done. :thumb:

    Thanks Mike. The defects were everywhere that you can see them with the naked eye. The clear coat was maybe the only thing that I found hard to work on.
