Outstanding! I will be looking for the updates.
 
Very nice, I found out that red is a difficult color to get perfect. I'm doing a black vehicle after work so I'll compare the red with the black and see which is worse hahaha.

Anywho, the 50/50 shot looks wicked....I love 50/50 shots.

Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the rest of the vehicle...man I love pictures lol

By the way would it be possible to share what products/process used?
 
Nice work. How many beers had you had before you put the tape down? LOL, j/k

not bad for 8 dollars. Clayed and applied the carnauba cleaner wax with a meguiars pad then buffed by hand using Micro fiber.

Where did you get the clay kit for $8?!?! BTW those are some nice results from just a cleaner wax.

Hookups at stores i go to :) I get a lot of stuff low cost for the most part. As soon as i have some money to chuck into the pit (car) ill be buying some high grade stuff from here.
