Pleasure meeting and working with you, Art!
Thanks for looking

 

Holy dude awesome work

 

Looks great! What products did you use?

 

^thanks! used Meguiar's 105 and Meguiar's 205 polish and Meguiar's #21 for sealant

 

Awesome, I have a berlina black 2003 with a ton of swirls and will give this a try. Looks like the polish and compound didn't leave much residue? I didn't see that you taped anything off hence the question.

 

Nice job! Great looking S

 

It did have some residue but i feel like swirls extend to the edge, even in the gaps, and i'm afraid of the DA ripping the tape off if i get to close, so i leave gaps exposed.. The polish dusting will wash out eventually or during door jamb wipe down. With wax, i try very hard not to spread it over the openings lol hope this helps
