We buffed it with Meguiars #85, followed by #9 on a rotary as well.

We chased that with #9 on a PC. It was topped with Meguiars #21.

We have a little over 16 man hours into it.

Why did it need the #85? With #9 and a rotary, isn't it possible to leave holograms and not know it because of all the fillers? Looks good regardless, but I am curious as to why you went so agressive.

It seems 85 and 83 are the go to *compounds* of your work. Is there really a need as said above for such abrasives on vehicles like this, especially so new? I'm just asking because I see so many horrible vehicles posted on here that are completed with far less abrasives especially via rotary...thanks for the help/input

Incredible work as always, Joe.

I haven't even seen an SLR in the Dallas area, yet alone detailed one.

The 45' Newell has you beat on single vehicle price though.
