My car has SS paint so it has alot of oxidization on it. No swirls or anything could I show pics of getting rid of the oxidization??

Looks good budman.

Just a reminder for everyone. We want to see the product in the picture, either being used or displayed with the finished work.

Troy,
I obviously did this transformation not knowing about this contest. Should I go ahead and take pictures of the products used even though its been some time now? And add them to my post?

[Lone_Star]

Thanks for the compliment J.

Budman, nice work.

Sorry I must have missed this question. No need to take pics of just the products. We are really looking for pictures of product as it is being used or displayed with the finished work.

I was hoping these contest would get more action. I hope you all aren`t forgeting about them.

Sounds good. I am really surprised also this thread is not jumping. good for me though, it might mean I will win.

I am doing another car soon, so I will make sure to have pictures for that one.

[DLR Detailing]

Here are some pictures that I would like to share with DC members. These are of my Father`s cars that we worked on recently to prepare for the upcoming show season. Sorry for the picture quality. I have plenty to learn about picture taking.

Both cars suffered from dry wiping/dusting at car shows and a lack of maintenance last season due to health reasons.

Poorboy`s products were used on the paint and trim. S&W - Mega Towels - PwS and Trim Restorer Enjoy.
