My second detail with a DA. Thought i would try and improve the paint on my 2000 GT. The car is far from perfect but in above average condition. Minor swirls in the paint from washing and quick detailing. The decklid had alot of oxidation. It wasn't only visible, it felt like sandpaper. I was able to get ALL of that out. Total time spent was around 9 hours. Not a professional job but i am happy with the results. The pics of the lights listed below are my attempt to show the swirl free finish. Silver is a difficult color to give that visual 'pop' but the autoglym wax helped define it more - awesome wax!
