2.0 is actually more aggressive than DACP. I second the recommendation Menzerna polishes. Lovely.

The car looks great. How do you like the UDM?

If the paint on my car wasn’t complete shit I would actually have one of you guys detail it. I’m amazed by some of the clean on jobs by some of the members. :tup: for a sexy clean car.

The only photo that speaks for itself is the last hood picture, the rest just look like you ran it through Delta Sonic. You need to take pictures of reflections when you shoot dark colors and take close-ups, no one can see fine scratches on a car from 15ft away.

Yeah I know, I was really tired and just took some quick snap shots for a before and after.

I really liked the UDM, it does vibrate a little bit more than a PC but nothing that I didn’t get used to quickly.

I’ll keep that in mind, so far this has been the only car I didn’t want to sell. However, there is always a price tag on any car I have lol.

Yeah I heard awesome reviews about the Back to Black, but it did not work as good as described. I’ll try Forever Black next time.
