      Not at all I'm new to this, takes me a lot longer, just wanted to get better idea how long it took you because the results came out great. I'm just hoping that the more cars I do the faster I get.

        To be honest I have done minimal compounding. This was really my second time trying to fix paint defects. Thanks to this website I have learned a lot. I just wish I can go to one of the classes in Irvine to learn how to perfect my technique. I live in San Francisco so it's a little too far. Thank you for your kind compliments.

            The increased clarity and gloss really show in the "after" shots on this car. For someone with little experience doing real correction we don't think 9 hours is a bad time frame. Sure, once you get more comfortable with the process and refine your technique, you can probably cut that time down a bit. But how long it took is less important than the final result. Sure, if you're doing this for a living you'll want to keep in mind that "time is money", but that's not an excuse to rush a job either, especially if it means compromising results. But work flows vary from individual to individual as they find what works best for them. But in this case, a new user who's still sort of learning, we think you did a truly outstanding job!
