Start.
Example of loss of luster. Notice how the paint appears to have a touch of melancholy.?
Difficult to shoot in daylight. Swirls are evident at lower sunflare.. (barely. It was very bright during this detail.)
Bad example.. Sorry.
After polishing and waxing.
It became far more difficult to photograph this Silver Mercedes after all of this polishing.
No evident swirls/scratches.
Looks like it is covered in liquid silver.
A tough one to see all the defects while working. First shots were of a tired E320, the final are of a vibrant near-100k mile Mercedes.
