Great work, Pirex! Nice turnaround on that hazed/oxidized paint on the hood! Car looks great now, with nice reflections. Looks like you brought all your goodies out to play! I see them stacked on the table. LOL Nice, growing collection you got there, bro!

That metabo/menzerna combo seems like a good one, looking great Pirex.

Love the 50/50 shots

Nice job!

Nice looking Volvo, really like the way it turned out. On the before pictures the paint looked in really bad shape and almost looked like clear coat failure. You sure did a great job turning that vehicle around. My Volvo looks the same, exterior wise. I wish mine was manual but I still enjoy it.

Great job there pirex, question for you. How was the paint for removing the swirls? Hard, soft, medium? Just wondering.

I liked the pictures too

alban61: Thanks bro Its growing, so we need more boxes

Truls: Thanks! Yeah, I love metabo + menzerna

richy: Thanks, yeah..Menzerna is great :cheers:

Z06-Goose: Thanks buddy Im the MAN

Nica: Thanks buddy! The car was really bad, and the hood was sick! But the metabo fixed it all :applause: Your volvo is pretty similar, but a bit larger

I would say medium! I have had harder, but softer to! If audi is hard, and toyota is soft, this is medium

DAMN! Now that is a before and after when looking at the hood, amazing work! I have a soft spot for the 850 though, my grandfather has one EXACTLY like this one and my brother's second car is an 850R. LOVE IT!

Pirex, that is an incredible turn around! The owner must have been very surprised that their car could look so good.

Awesome job. It looked so bad in the before pics. The after pics rock especially with the background that you have there.
