That was a lot of correction. I sure didn't think you would get that big scratch! Fill us in on your process please! Very Nice work!

I gotta say that of all the write ups on this forum, you have the best reflection shots. Excellent work!! :dblthumb2:

 

[jamesn184]

stunning reflection shots there

 

[BobbyG]

There isn't a color that shines as much as the color black. When done correctly it's depth is almost endless and the reflection is like no other...

Another gorgeous job!! :dblthumb2:

did you all know that the only make of cars that are TRUE black/black is lexus/bmw/mercedes and cars that are older like my pontiac, and other gm's, fords, mopars are not straight black, they're actually mixed with different colored pigments? i noticed that on my pontiac which is an 01 which im pretty sure they still used laquor but not straight black, which sux in my opinion cause straight true black/black is just GORGEOUS when done CORRECTLY! ive learned this with all the rolling black mirrors ive owned in the past.

very nice job, that black looks excellent! (even though im not an suv guy)

This photo is brilliant, excellent work there. Some people say a black car is hard to maintain as the finest imperfections and dust show up easily, but this would change anyone's mind!

you bet it changed , once black is detailed is like mirror , special if less orange peel.
i usually don`t advertise 2 step correction on black cars that are not garaged ..
even with dust film on a black detailed car is still stunning :xyxthumbs:

Nice work. Hoping I can get my work to this level eventually. Like a mirror...
