I will see if I can handle mine on my own, then if I don't like the job I did, then I will come to you the next time around. Just costs a good amount for the supplies.

Thank you so much, Nick! The car looked so amazing when I picked it up. Everyone should know the pictures don't do the job you did justice.

Thank you everyone for the nice words about the car.

Looks like you removed the Oxidation but on alot of those 50/50 shots you can still see the swirls carry over from one side to the other. The light from the flash somewhat hides some of it.

Well to be specific, you don't see any swirls left, you see RIDS. You're right though, but in the description, it says that the pictures were taken after one/two passes of IP, just to show the difference so early in the polishing stages. Also, there is typically going to be some RIDS/Swirls left immediately next to the line because, as anyone should know, you don't want to keep the buffer on top of painter's tape....However, I did do the full polishing steps for the 50/50 shots on the Mustang I just did and you can take a look at that thread which will show no RIDS left over.

Here's the link.
