Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I can tell you first hand this is HARD WORK, and I understand now why guys who do this for a living charge what they do........

 

This whole process took me about 12 hours over 2 days........It really does make a difference with soft and hard clear coats. My wife's MDX was a soft clear coat and really spoiled me on the ease of correction and end result. My BMW was much harder (literally) and I really needed to work at it the whole time.....

 

More pics coming soon.......

Alright, got to work early this morning and got a wax topper done!

 

I'm PATIENTLY waiting for the sun to come out so I can REALLY see how this looks :tappingfoot:

 

I did a little experiment if anyone can tell........

 

I did Liquid Sovergn Wax on one half of the car and Natty's Red Paste Wax on the other half.......

 

Can you tell the difference..........

Awesome job man, crazy transformation.

 

Thanks bruh!

 

Nice job. I'm guessing Pinnacle on the drivers side and Natty's on the passenger side?

 

Negavite.....strike that and reverse it :yuno:
