Smile Pics...Detailed my G

Well, since the weather has been excellent this last week in New Jersey, I decided to do an early "Detail" for the Fall.

Washed, dried and then used SONUS SFX2 enhanced swirl remover, Followed by KLASSE AIO and a layer of KLASSE Sealant Guard. Then topped off with two coats of P21S wax over a two day period..... Car is nice and smooth and protected for the up comming winter months. I will put another coat of Sealant Glaze and layer the P21S over the next month or so....
Pics aren't the Best....Forgot to shoot in High Resoulution.........But I think you get the idea from the pic.... for Ivory Pearl it reflects quite well.
Tell me what ya think.

Front shot


Hood shots






Side shot




Trunk shot

Looks good, but we need some direct sun/halogen lighting shots to really appreciate the work done

Thanks everyone for the comments/feedback. This combination I used does remove most or all of the fine scratches/swirl marks.....My finish looks 100 times cleaner since my last detail. I'm sure a Portacable or UD machine would make easy work of this type of detail, But I prefer to do it by hand. It allows me to really examine the paint surface for defects/imperfections that may have developed since the last detail.....I know that sounds ****, but thats just me.....Thanks again everyone.

dukieman23......I did it by hand...required some rubbing to work the enhancer in, and it leaves a slightly clouded surface which requires polishing to restore full luster......

redlude97......I will try to take some High Res shots today when the suns overhead.....I don't think you will see much difference with Ivory Pearl though...it doesn't photograph real well like black/red/dark blue.


UPDATE......Some Hi Res. Pics today in the sun....hope this helps.

Front fender


Rear Quarter panel


Three Hood Shots....






I hope these shots will give you a better idea of how clean the finish is now.
90% of all minor imperfections were gone after this detail.
Thanks again
