Nice. Be careful with that power gloss, it's aggressive stuff!

He's got some serious swirls to get rid of, but yeah, read up in the detailing section or ask the pros (like Picus) how to use the stuff safely. Adam, thanks again for dropping off the ONR and WW.

No kidding Kevin. I've only had to pull that out a couple of times so far. It sure dusts like a bugger too!

Congrats and have lots of fun with your new toy! You heard it here first......it's an addictive tool to use!! You might want to warn your GF/Wife that she might not see you on the weekends anymore.

Hah.

For serious swirls where you need PG just be ready to do quite a few steps cleaning up the haze it leaves behind. If you do say, PG/orange you may need to do IP/orange then IP/white then FPII/black or something.

I haven't taken my before pictures yet. But I'm going to do that first. I'll snap a few here and see if I can capture the "love" of the previous owner.

I'm started my journey. This stuff does make a big mess.... but it's worth it I'm sure. I've been trying to take pictures but it's really hard to get the stuff in focus. I'll keep trying my best and update with a new thread when I"m done!
