Thanks,  600/1000/1500 - compound/swirl remover.

I ordered a kit from Adam's Polishing that should be here tomorrow that will be the final detail and swirl removal since there are some areas that were missed. I have to wait a month before a wax or sealer can be applied.

Well I received my order from Adam's Polishing and did the 3 part application yesterday so I did a photo shoot today. I have to give credit where credit is due, Adam's Polishing products worked great and I really like the instructional videos on their website and the dvd provided with my order. I have detailed cars since I was in high school but it was a nice refresher course with some new info learned.

One more UPS shipment tomorrow with some powder coated GM performance valve covers and the engine compartment is done, one more fine machine polish and she's ready for her first show this Saturday, Vettes at the Light - Ponce Inlet, Florida. I plan on posting a photo or two from the event via the old smartphone (droid that is, no I toy here, lol) then more photos next week.

All of my cool cars were black, guess I'm a gluton for punishment. Black cars are just bad ass IMO and produce the most depth in their reflection
