    Clay after one door!

    The paint had a real lack of gloss, very boring..

    Tried very hard to create some 50/50's, but it was really hard on this silver paint!

    Note the sharper reflection on the door to the right:

    mmmm...Victoria :druling: :druling: you know funny enough I really enjoy detailing silver colour vehicles. When they are done and you slap a good Carnauba on it like Victoria, vehicles give of a really nice Carnuaba glow...and I love Carnuaba glow :druling: :druling:

    Job well done :applause:

    Nice job, especially with the turnaround on the trim. Looks like a previous guy hit the door handle a little too long with the buffer. Dealer did the same thing to mine, it's been on my to-do list to replace for the last 3 years...

    Thanks a lot for the comments! :)

    Thank you :)
    To be honest, I don't think this car has been polished before..
    After SIP and Megs cutting pad, the paint was left with rds everywhere!
    3 of the door handles looked like that, and the car was full og scratches (trough the paint) and dents.. Don't think the previous owners of the car cared so much about it :(
