Default Introduction and my first project :)

Hello Everyone

After stalking here and other sites I finally took the plunge and bought a PC and some other supplies from Detailers Domin (btw, to him)

I ended up getting m105/m205 and the menzerna sealant.

I finally ended up doing my first car this weekend. It was a 97 Del Sol that was in rather rough shape, so perfect for me to practice on

So onto the Pics, If I can figure this out. . .

My favorite pic


All in all, it made a big difference. There are still some deep scratches that if I had more experience I may have been able to get out but I am fine with that. I feel like at this point, I need to gain a lot of experience.

The only thing I was surprised at was how fast M105 was drying, even compared to M205. Dunno why, but oh well.

Anyways, thanks for helping out guys
Hope to have more cars to show you as time goes on

I don't have experience with other compounds and polishes, but I also found that M205 was easier to work with than M105.
