[QUOTE=GoodfellaFD3S;10154200]Some more 'in progress' pics, I believe he used about 4 coats each of 3M professional-grade polish and wax.


Your car looks fantastic. What is the brand of wax used for a final finish.
Thanks, Grant

If you are somewhat of a perfectionist, patient and have a little experience with a real buffer, you can get similar results, It may take you quite a bit longer though depending on the condition of your paint. That is some phemomenal work though

A little late, but really nice work! Big fan of the 99spec lights! I need a refinish on my car badly, but I don't know any credible places in the Atlanta, GA area T.T

TX VR Red

VR is a really nice color. I bet that brought out the original red.
Most are faded already so most people haven't really seen the
real original red anymore. Cool.

I always tell my clients after I do heavy paint correction that this is not a job that will keep your car swirl free for life. You guys have to understand that the majority of swirl marks and scratches come from your washing and drying techniques. It doesn't take much to keep the swirls at bay, utilizing a two to three bucket wash/rinse system with grit guards on the bottom of all the buckets. As far as drying is concerned, the more you touch the car, the more you risk inducing swirls or imperfections. A good practice is to spray quick detailer on the paint work before you while down the area. Cars look great and I'm excited to see more detailed cars on this forum! Lmk if you need any advice, im happy to help.
