I'm surprised by the lack orange peel visible in the paint. As much as I can clean my SB -- all it does is HIGHLIGHT the crappy BMW orange peel. Did you do something to hide it?

Very very nice overall!

FMINUS · 11-20-2007, 08:48 PM

OP is still there. Its just that the paint was so bad, I used a little more abrasives when I was cutting so it reduced the OP. But its still there.

Srsly?

The op above is terrible. Nothing to do with the detailer, of course... but it's still abysmal.
