Great job!

You asked for criticism, so I will be the first. Are those "after" shots after just compounding? Or after compounding and polishing. I ask because there is a lot of haze going on.

I hope the photos showing your pads laying around on the garage floor were taken after completion of the job.

Sorry i dont remember for each photo if it was before or after, what i can tell u is that the haze on the lights are from my crappy cell camera , wich if u look on the before shots are still there.

No hazing where left behind

I hope the photos showing your pads laying around on the garage floor were taken after completion of the job.

Sadly no , had a very little space to work on , but those where pads i was not using anymore. I knew when looking at the photos some will freak out by seeing pads on the floor :laughing:

Hmm, soft panels that bend on these cars, good to note and thanks for sharing that. I assume because of this, the correction took longer than expected, due to less pressure being apply while compounding?

Great work, car looks very nice!
