Silver reflection with AIO/SG...

I recently purchased this car and spent 9 hours detailing it last weekend. The only pics to write home about are the reflections, so I'll share. There are still tons of swirls on this car that I will have to address later.

Process:
wash
clay (sonus)
wash
sonus swirl buster LC yellow
sonus sfx1 sonus yellow
AIO sonus white
SG hand (acrylic spritz to help remove)

I also mixed in efforts with 3m machine glaze, poorboy's stuff, sfx 2, some maguires products, etc...

Anyhoozle, here's the reflection after one layer of SG (all I had time and patience for):





I tried to get a pic of the remaining swirls, but they were impossible to get in the light and with this silver color. At night under flourescent lighting they really pop out.
