Talking SS 40,500 mile detail job

Happy 40,500 miles. Did this last nite.

My lab was mesmerized by her refection in the car, After i saw her staring at the SS , I grabed my camera.

A very deep wash
A complete dry
Meguires clay bar
Buff
Buff
Meguires gold paste
Buff
Buff
Buff

9 steps to get it so it appear to have 5000 miles
But today i feel like i was the loser in a prize fight, Dam my arms are sore.

7 pm - 1 am ( there was a lot of staring time and some beverages going on )

That's amazing. Looks like it's made of glass. Did Batman have a "cloak mode"? I don't remember.

Very cool! Black is such a sharp color! Don't get me wrong, my orange looks nice when it's all polished up, but nothing near like that black!

That's probably the white balance on the camera, if it's not set correct it will look different under different lights.

Could be...I know that some black paints have a lot of red in them. I'd say that this situ is most likely lighting and/or camera. Either way, the dawg staring at itself in the side is friggin hilarious!
