    Yeah, 3 step correction on that car (with a full detail) would probably take me 10-12 hours.

      Car looks good in the garage - would have liked to see some full sun shots though. Have you inspected it in direct sunlight?
      During my work I removed 98% of defects - some serious scratches was almost hidden but still noticable. I think that after two extra hour it should be 100% result in all cases but it was not ask of my friend - daily driver with this car. He was very happy with this result :-) First I met him he would not like to polish this car at all, now he recomended my service to his friends - now it seems that I have work on at least 2 extra cars :-)

      I saw this car on sunlight next day afternoon, it looks still perfect - the M80 is superb final compund to prevent any hazing I think :-)

      It was not intended to manage 100% full detail ;-) Work on this paint was not so slow according age of this car - my own Skoda Octavia has much harder paint.

          Finaly I had some time to inspect quality of before pictures. Here you can find them. Unfortunately it was not my camera so I'm also not happy about this pictures

          But it's good reason why to make more pictures next time and to spend more time with camera settings



          Last shot is 50/50 after one pass with M85 + Wool pad

          I hope that the micro scratches and swirls are visible.

          Have a fine day!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
