I totally underestimated how long this car would take to complete, but i'm loving the results, the owner was speechless.

Yeah, it's actually black now instead of grey.

very very nice. what was used for the windows if you dont mind me asking?

Thank you. I used Stoners Invisible Glass for the windows.

Thanks guys, I couldn't have done it without taking some advice and picking up on tips and techniques from all of you. One day, I'll be as good as you guys.

I think I still have a ways to go, alot of guys are getting great results in half the time it's taking me. I'm not gonna make any money if I can only do one car per weekend.

Hey rkf76, I actually missed your posting . Excellent job there on the S430, the car looks a thousand times better after your magic touch and it seems like all the products combo works out great for you :xyxthumbs .

Ok,



I just gotta ask this question (to anyone). How do you get the scratches out of the area behind the door handles? is there an easy way to do this?



Thanks.

Thanks.

I use Powergloss on a terry towel followed by OP on a terry towel and OPS on a MF towel... it's a pain in the butt.

Those rims were nasty as they can be! The whole car looks better than new. Excellent job! :bow
