[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16649756, member: 70025"] Here are the final results after the 3 step polish. It took me most of the day to cut and buff the driver's fender, but man was it worth it. [ATTACH=full]1714773[/ATTACH] I love looking at the reflection. Looks like a mirror LOL. [ATTACH=full]1714774[/ATTACH] You can clearly see what's hanging up on the walls of my garage. [ATTACH=full]1714775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1714776[/ATTACH] Okay, as mentioned I had a hiccup (Stuff happens LOL). After finishing the driver's fender I got ready to start on the passenger fender. I flipped the fender upright to start on the top and noticed that it had a case of solvent pop. For those of you that don't know what that is, solvent pop happens when you spray too much clear. What happens is the top dries before the bottom. This does not allow for the gasses to escape, so they create tiny gas bubbles in the clear.

[ATTACH=full]1714777[/ATTACH] I called my painter on Saturday and he said he would come out early on Sunday and help me fix it.
