Yes paint does look AWFUL!!!!!! **** MY LIFE! That's what happens after you compound a car and before polishing it. I wouldn't expect you to know though.

Also my white one was 1 year's worth of work. I've had my Red evo for 2 months. Sorry if I've only spent $8k in mods in 2 months.

Wow, beautiful. Just a quick question. How long do you think it takes you to completely detial your car like that? I do somewhat of a comparable job but it takes me 5-6 hours at the least! I'm sure you have some tricks up your sleve to make it a less draining process.

On my car it's around the same amount of time. I procrastinate a lot on my car. But not as long as a customer's car, as it's not just me doing the work.

There are always tricks to the trade

Yeah, sometimes over 8 hours for my car . Including engine bay and light interior.

What rpm do you usually use with the rubbing compound? Any particular buffer you prefer? Also, have you had a chance to get any vids?
