1st polish, what a difference!
5 hours later, can't believe what polishing does to the paint.

Looks awesome! Now seal it up with something like Blackfire Crystal Sealant, that will really make it pop and seal it!

I guess the GM orange peel paint directive applies to more than just the extra cost metallic black. If only polishing was able to fix that.
What did you put on top after the polish? |

Looks great! What polish did you use? Did you do it by hand or buffer?

You can get results like this on a new car with meguires 205, a med polishing pad and a orbital set on med speed.

Looking good! Reminds me of my Victory Red and the hours spent polishing her up. I need to get to mine either this weekend or next for sure!
