You are a cool dude! 
 
Thanks again! 

Wow Dan your work is stunning. So when can I drop off my black car for you to bring it back from the dead? Seriously man great work. Can't wait for the next episode.

Paint Correction Continued...
 
I decided to make one more pass over this area with the microfiber cutting pad. I used the pad conditioning brush to brush the microfiber pad surface back up before applying a few more drops of Paint Correcting Polish and polishing the area a second time:


 
The results were nearly perfect after a second pass:
 

 
Left side untouched, right side looking awesome:
 

 
While polishing this area, I noticed where the previous shop caused some damage with that rotary polisher they must have been using. It is difficult to see in this photo, but the struck through right down to the fiberglass at the edge seam of the fender, where it meets up with the corner of the hood by the windshield. In this first photo it just looks like a reflection:
 

 
But up closer, you can see the yellowish-tan fiberglass on the fender, as well as some wet sanding marks at the corner of the hood.
 

 
In order to not damage this area further, I decided to leave those small scratches on the edge of the hood. They're small enough that most people would not notice them.
 
Next up was moving to Paint Finishing Polish with the White Foam Pad:
 

 

 
Spreading the polish around the area to minimize any fling onto the rest of the car and me:
 

 
Working the Paint Finishing Polish:
 

 
After removing the residue:
 

 

 
Removing the tape line showed the real improvement. The 40 watt, 3,000 lumen LED spotlight does not lie.
 

 
Notice just how much darker the finish came back after polishing when compared with the tape line:
 

 
I continued this polishing process on the rest of the hood.
 
Before - fairly heavy scratches at the center of the hood:
 

 
After - just three faint scratch lines remained after Paint Correcting Polish:
 

 
Applying Paint Finishing Polish:
 

And the finished result on the hood. Completely unedited photos from my phone, of the bare polished hood, prior to any Brilliant Glaze or Patriot Wax. The depth and reflections were spectacular:
 

 

 
In the next update, I will show more specific spot correction around the car with the Rupes Mini and the Cyclo. Stay tuned.

Hello!  
 
My name is James, and I live in Kansas City.  Stumbled across this site from the GM-Trucks.com forum.  My first order was some Detail Spray, Tire Shine, All Purpose Cleaner, and clay.  All I can say is WOW!  Not only are these the best performing products I've ever used, they smell fantastic too!  Much better user experience than anything else I've used.
 
I quickly placed another order with 20% chemical sale, and followed that up with a "Mystery Box".  Head over to that thread to see what I scored there....I'm still speechless.  How do I follow up that, well order more supplies of course!
 
I was skeptical about informing my wife of my new found stash, but after using the Detail Spray on the kitchen appliances, she quickly gave the enthusiastic approval!
 
 
I truly look forward to learning tips along the way.  I have a truck that's been rode hard and put away wet a few times, a high mileage DD, and the family SUV.  Each have their own needs, and I look forward to keeping them in tip top shape.

Hello everyone it's great to be a part of this awesome community! Like the title says I'm new to the forums but am a return customer. My name is Jaime from Texas and I must say that the addiction is real. I've been lurking for a while and finally wanted to say hi and interact with all the awesome folks here. Hopefully I can add to the awesomeness around here, have some fun and learn a lot of new things about the passion we all love. I guess I'll see you guys around and here's what I will be cleaning up. I know it's dirty but I had to try out the DWC and of course I love it.
