Nice job. Isn't there any polish and wax after claying and drying as I see from the pics?

 

yes there is did you read the process?

there were no swirls or imperfections.

we used Menzerna PO85RD followed by Menzerna Power Lock.

Thanks!

 

talk about a sexy car! it must have been a treat not to have a car full of swirls to work on. is it hard getting used to sonax and NOT having to agitate the wheels? i know i would still want to use some brushes

 

correct its great for a change.

 

Great pics... another stunning job..

 

Gah my dream car! Lucky you got to work on her
