As I said before, I can show you a car that has spider scratches all over the finish yet looks showroom clean in a picture. A vehicle picture is not a true representation of how well the finish looks in person.

You can't do that....it only looks good in pics. You obviously haven't seen your own car in person yet. You can't possibly be happy with that product.

We did Claybar first, then a mild/strong 3M compounding (well over an hour just compounding removing scratchs and marring) then Adam's polish, swirl remover, and Adam's wax to top it off.
Even before the wax it was glowing and yes I'm sure there are still some minor micro marring and minor scratchs, but by just looking at it you can't see them.

......I'd like to see if you can find your own scratchs afterwards.

Again I'm not saying the car isn't what the pictures project it to be. I'm just saying that to many times people claim a product made their car look like new and show a picture as proof. Proof can't be found in a picture as the lens is not as precise as the eye. That's all I'm saying. No bashing intended.
