Nice job. Even though a cars paint doesn't look that bad at first after a nice polishing session it makes a big difference. It's also nice to have a car for a few days to ensure everything is taken care of without rushing.

Thanks for the comments!! Yeah, I like to sit on the car and take my time. Also, like to keep it for a day after LSP to ensure something doesn't flash on me. This one in particular as this was my first run with Menz and BF.

Wow, so you can half way wash a car. Almost impressed! Comes to the bay area and I will show you how to detail a car.
