Wink Did some detailing work this weekend

Hey guys-

Detailed an 03 Berlina on Friday that had some serious swirls/marring going on. I corrected this with Poorboy's SSR2.5, SSR1.0, and Manzerna 106FA. Followed up with Meg's NXT and Lusso Oro on top.

My helper for the day, my Border Collie, T-Bone:


Before shots:


Before 106FA and after Poorboy's:

After 106FA:

After shot:




And onto my car using the just 106FA, NXT, and Lusso Oro as it was already in very good shape:






Thanks for looking guys! What ya think?

If youre referring to the one before I used 106FA, those weren't really swirls, it looked like someone had gone over the car with fine steel wool. As you can see though, the 106 cleaned that up very well. I highly recommend it. I was using the yellow pad, then orange pad, and yes it was with 2.5
