Very impressive. May I ask how much that sort of detail cost yourself? I have many a swirl mark/scratch but I just don't the time, money or confidence to get all the gear and tackle it my self! :sad:

it cost 300, and it was covered in swirls, dirt and moss around sunroof,window rubbers etc. took 2 and a bit days to do... just excellent job  :grin:

Had a look at the DW thread over the weekend, absolutely stunning! Lots of work gone into that, quite a chunk of change but if you were to sell it tomorrow you'd get every penny back. :cool:
