Nice results!... what stuff are you using?
Looking at those before shots... Was that car ever polished in it's life? Very nice end result though.
A Commodore is a passion. Anything else is just a car
Great results.. you must have arms the size The HULK.. LOL
Wow nicely done. but like me, looking from the area your in doesn't look like it'll stay that way for long. lol
Good work
Yeah really well done job must suck to live near gravel tho i know i hate it
Sweet as. I have a Phantom 'S' and know how hard it is to keep up to scratch. Clould you give a quick run down of how these results are acheived and products used.
Thanks
Dan
yeh comeon man how did you do that
haha sorry guys for late reply i didnt get any notifaction by email that there was replys.
haha no i dont look like the hulk. Polishing doesnt really get u buff just makes u really fit, its more endurance then strengthi'm no bigger then a light weight boxer. Belive it or not i find cars really easy as im a aircraft detailer (much more physical)

This car got a 4 stage machine cut and 2 stage machine seal and wax
This car was polish with a rotary dewalt sander/polisher machine using mostly 3m products and a phew secret ones
this is wat was done:
1) car washed and prepsol wiped down to get any excess sealant/wax of
2)took before pics
3) 3m extra cut
4) 3m fast cut
5) 3m perfect it 3000 swirl remover
6) 3m ultrafina
7) prepsol wipedown to make sure there was absolutly no swirls left, and too them after pics outside
8) then pressure washed to get any left over polish of in any cracks and things as seen in pics
9) machine using a dual head cyclo machine with out secret aircraft sealant
10) another coat of our aircraft sealant
11) once the sealant had cured i put a coat of our carnauba wax over the sealant to keep it a deeper/wetter sort of look (bonnet got 2 coats)
12) treated all exterior plastics and tyres using 3m tyre restorer.
13)exterior windows light hand polish
14) interior windows wiped down
15) went right through the car cleaning any polish trap in any crack and door trims
16) exhaust tips polished
17) had sex with carLOL jks
oh i also used micropak mircofiber cloths and waffle weave for drying..
Was not my car but a mates car that was selling it but now is not selling it due to him begging the missus to keep it cause it look too good, the baby that is on the way is just going to have to sit in the back hahaha
catchas . Simon.
PS: for thos not experience in using rotary buffers i would recommend using a harder cut then the swirl remover or even ultrafina.

how much would this cost to have done professionally?
350 is a pretty cheap price for wats involved i guess.
yeh but theres not many that would do it at that price
u could expect up to $900 from some
these guys for example:
Final Inspection - Auto Detailing
i know they do a really good job but u gotta pay for it lol
