Back in Black

Post by Grimm »

Been quite a while since I posted any pictures. Just finished up a two step polish with Menzerna SIP and Micro Polish using Optimum cutting and polishing pads on my new Griots. Topped it off with a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant. I'm thinking of taking a shot at wet sanding. Not sure if I want to put that many hours into it though. I'll add some interior shots once I get it fully spring cleaned.

Just a few weeks ago I debadged the doors. Got sick of cleaning around them and getting my drying towel caught in it.

Now why did I take a picture of myself in the mirror?

I need to watch you next time so I'll know how. Mine doesn't look that good. Better yet, you can show me on mine while I watch. - BC
