Oops sorry I'm corecting my self here, this detail didn't take over 30hrs, this SLK took just over 20hrs for me to complete. The next detail I'm posting is the one that took me over 30hrs. I'm posting the 30+ hr detail next

Thank you Deep Gloss, I meassured the Total Auto Wash out and I've marked that cup I keep in the garage now so I'll be using this ration when it comes to washing the vehicles, well at least vehicles that are required to be striped of protection or polish residue, it works really well for that too

As for the pictures, boy I had a tough time capturing the imperfections...I mean if your were to stand beside the vehicle and point the 3M Sun Gun you could see the swirls but when I tried to take a picture of them they just wouldn't turn up...I wonder if a different type of lens would help...mmm.......I don't but maybe worth a shot. I mean I've seen other detailers capture imperfection on white colour vehicles...if they can do it I should be able to do it as well.

Well off I go to do more reading on this matter
