Looks fantastic billy, was the car polished to remove any swirls beforehand or was it simply a straight wash & wax?

 

[AMGeed]

Lovely looking car looking in great shape. Shame about the background wall .

To be honest, the paints not too bad as it is, there are a few swirles that I'm thinking of correcting - she's just been clayed and contaminants removed at the mo'

Oh, I don't know, makes the car look fantastic against a crap background

Yes, this can be done pretty simply, using 2500 then up to 3000 grade wet n dry sand lense down, use a DA with cutting compound i.e 3M FC and polish down to clear finish
