Looks perfect Brian! Sorry these guys Hijacked your thread it's not everyday some one on this board spends weeks, of their personal after work time to get their paint to look like that, only to come on here and have someone else brag about a "better" way to do it while posting video's of their work.
It looks awesome and I am very envious!

First of all I was not bragging about anything. Second that is not my work. (yes get a clue, those guys are in the UK, I am in GA.) Third, it's called sharing. Its how I learned alot of my detailing techniques.
I have much respect for someone that takes the time to wetsand their own car. I have wetsanded sections of more then a few cars, it is very time consuming. Looking forward to seeing pics.

Mr. Wheeler, You sound like Al Gore claiming that he invented the internet.

finally some sun here and not sick at the same time....it was a great day!
after around 60 or so hours, I think I have polished away all of the wetsanding marks and have the finish as level as I can get it without taking away too much more clear.
need to seal it and then wax it now and then I can sit back and have a beer myself.
