Well, I had promised my mom around mother's day that I would do her car for her.  This woman is never home for a complete day.  She always finds something to do.  Well I finally got it today around noon.  I'm going to finish it up sometime tomorrow before noon.  This thing had serious swirls. 

This is after a wash, clay and a 50/50 alcohol/water wipedown.





This is after multiple passes with SIP using only a DA (7424).  I ran out of light so more pictures to follow tomorrow.  Could only get a good shot of the hood.

Looks sweet!  Good job!

SIP on a porter cable. WOW. It looks amazing.

Okay a few more.  Followed up SIP with 106 and then Optimum Car Wax.  I was going to use 16 but there was a good possibility that it might of gotten traded in today so I didn't want to put myself through what could turn into a very annoying situation if I didn't put it on thin enough.

Another of the hood after 106 and an 50/50 alcohol/water wipedown.  After looking at the picture I almost had a heart attack because I thought I saw what looked to be a pretty significant scratch on the hood but it turns out it's just a wire going from the house to a pole.  It cuts through the cloud to the right of the sun in the picture. 



Sorry for the lack of sun.  I couldn't wait it out anymore.  It wasn't going to shine on the vehicle anytime soon so that's the best I could do.  Maybe I'll grab another one later if I can and the sun cooperates.



And one of the tires, wheels and wheel wells.

I thought that was a huge scratch as soon as I saw that pic!

Reflection of a wire above is MUCH better though, looks killer! Nice work.

Dude, nice job, wanted to give you kudos on the other site too.

Forgot to mention what a great job you did on the wheels...they look great. 

Great job on the truck!
