So i kinda got into this with my own car, and my mom asked if i would do her car. A beautiful black 2003 Mercury Marauder. It had some swirling that was really bugging her so i said i'll give it a shot. First time using a PC. I like the way it came out, and she's very happy with it.

Sorry, no before pictures.

The whole car got washed, clayed, intensive polished, final polished, glazed, and a coat of FMJ. I really like the finished product it put out. :buffing: And it wasnt that hard to work with which i was really happy about.

The hood has some pock marks in it from being on the road a bit.

NICE work man! And sweet car :D But hey, lets see some pics of the two jettas!! :D
 
I drive the black jetta GLI in the background. I gotta do some swirl removal on mine. I'll be sure to get lots of pics of that one. The silver jetta is my sisters, and her's is up next for some work. She wants hers to look as nice as the Marauder.

Thanks for the welcome and the compliments. Like i said, this was the first round with the PC and i was really impressed with the difference it made in the outcome. I wish i had gotten before shots.
 
Great work! Very impressive for your first Show N Shine!
 
You have some nice reflections going on there. I like that you said the swirls were really bugging your Mom. Is OCD genetic??
Nice detail.
 
OCD when it comes to the cars....yes, very big problem in my family. Even my sister gets fussy when there is a mark on her car. And my dad is as picky as me. We notice everything when it comes to the condition, both appereance and mechanical, of our auto's.
 
Wow what kind of a mom drives a Marauder?!?!
Nice job!
