So after taking a big breath it was time to get into it .
So I tryed a few test patches with M101 on Foam , Wool & a M/F Pad all worked fine 80% of the time I got away with a foam pad
So here are a few shots of what M101 will do

Nicely done. That truck must have looked more white than black with all those swirls! Got some great reflections now!

Absolutely fantastic!!! We see you posted the finished product up on our Facebook page, but we had no clue from that image that the truck was in such dire need of detailing - it really was a serious mess before you got to it. This is just such a huge turnaround on this truck, given its age, the level of defects, and the fact that it's black; just stunning.

Cheers It took a long long time just to cut it back .There where only a couple of scratches that where not removed as they where to deep .
The look on the owners face was priceless when he came to collect it :doublethumbsup2
It was even picked up on a tow truck so it wouldn't get dirty on the way home it goes straight into a garage until the wedding on Saturday

Great job! The owner may want to consider getting a lighter color next time LOL. But, then again, if he keeps bringing it to you, who cares! :)
