After the wash and clay we were left with a clean surface take a look at the imperfections (sorry lighting was very poor)

Unfortunately this was our best 50/50 shot (this should be after Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Top Inspection wipe down/finished with Menzerna PO85rd and then once again wiped down with Menzerna Top Inspection)

Some action shots:

Me on the Makita:

I think these are the best shots. Alvin took this with his Canon SLR (not sure if its a D20 or D30)
