Black Suburban FINISHED

This one was a real challenge, and I learned quite a bit on it. I love the Makita, Megs105, and Wet Obsession. Anyway, on to the pics.

Here's what I started with.

sure it looks nice and its clean, but I think you guys have somewhat missed the point of his post. He posted a lot of before and after pics to show in detail how much paint correction was required to restore it to show room appearance.
There was way more work involved than just hitting it with carnuba or hyper dressing.

Amazing job

Uh, guys (and girls), if you think that was simply using some clay, then applying some miracle Billy Mays wax, you're in for a rude awakening. Like someone else has mentioned, there was a ton of true "paint correction" work done there first. It was not easy, nor did it take just a few minutes with no talent. There was a ton of work done there and much of it was well beyond what a first timer should attempt. My hat's off to hwm3 for an awesome job here.
