hehe yeah rob , he did say with compound you dont have to do it for at least 6mths or more ,but generally keep it up to scratch and it only took me 3 hrs for compound and carnuba wax on the top as the compound does its job better than the stage 1 paint cleaner and the carnuba wax seals it straight away and thats with the sun beaming down on it.

bet yes your old girl still looks good.

nope i know it doesnt show ,but maybe because the 2nd picture i took on a wet morning

the top one is more orange i can assure you in some places as well as pinkish and was taken when it was dirty and dusty .i bet if there was a sunny day in the first pic it would show up as i described because even in the sun now its looking very red.
