Night pics of two freshly detailed cars

This was taken a few nights ago. Arnold K. and I detailed up our cars and took a ride for some night shots. There are some swirl marks on Arnold's car which I will take care of when I machine compound it.

Agreed. Nothing some cropping can't fix, though :-)

Nice Pics. I've used the PI II RC with the rotary and it works well in getting some stuff out.

1. Wash with NXT car wash
2. Clay with Griots Garage Clay Bar
3. Machine compound with 3M FineCut (swirl removal/polish--brings the clearcoat gloss back out)
4. Meguiars NXT Polymer - hand applied and machine buffed off

Shortly after that pictorial, I detailed my car completely. Washed it, clay barred and waxed it. Used the same products as Packet, except finecut, since I couldn't find it anywhere. The car is smooth as silk now and swirls have decreased considerably, but some are still present.
