Very very nice.

I like how you said that this proccess was not that detailed and only for a DD.

I wonder how serious you’d get if it was for a show car of some sort.

Great work Wes!

There’s been some crazy jobs posted on 6speedonline, detailing cars like the Enzo, MC12, etc…

I’ve seen some posts where the waxes they use are like $15k for a small bucket!

You’re clearly a pro, you didn’t even start with a Porter Cable or more gentle pads, straight to the rotary haha…nice results and good products too!

That really did have some notable swirl marks though wow…again congrats on a job well done!

I started out at a high end indie dealership here in Toronto as a car jockey/wash guy when I was 19, then really got hardcore later on.

You should check out Autopia there is a wealth of info there and that is what took me to the next level.

I got the waxes from [DetailersDomain.com](http://DetailersDomain.com)

Thanks bro! I get it from various places mainly [autogeek.com](http://autogeek.com) and in Ontario from eshine.ca. It took me 30hrs to do and 9hrs to do the write up.
