Nice looking ride.

The M205 and orange pad seemed to finish fairly well. Did you try a white or black pad with M205 to see if you could get more gloss?

That really needs M205/white pad or tangerine ht pad. Great job overall! :props:

I really like that car, but I don't think it did the classic gto justice looks wise. They should have produced it under a different model name. Decent turn around from the before pictures. GOAT=Gas, Oil, and Tires haha

Did you take these pics before you applied the DP tire gel?

Nice work!

No I did not, I was happy and satisfied with the results I got from the 205 on the orange. M105 was dusting pretty bad and it took me a long time to do the car, about 12 hours, and I only charge $110 for that work. So you can see why I did not feel like going over the car again lol

The pictures of the car outside were actually taken about a week and a half after the detail. I finshed the first detail at night, so he came back later for me to do the interior. So the tire gel was on there for over a week already, and it repelled water really good still :xyxthumbs:
