My own Prima results. Pics provided of course.

I decided to try out my kit that I had purchased from detailers paradise. Since the test subject is a 2007 Corvette Z06 and in reletively good condition, I decided to use Finish, Amigo and then Epic. So my friend and I taped up the little plastic that was there and prepared ourselves for a 5 hour detailing. We started with a washdown with Dawn and dried the car. Then went at it with my polisher and the appropriate colored pad.
Here are some pics. Tell me what you think.

Nice work

One hint. In the first photo it looks like you have polished a fender, and at least 1/2 the hood. Next time, work smaller areas at a time, about 2 square feet, about 1/2 as much in the photo.

Great results though. Can't wait to see your new Clubman, we just got one this week, and his detailing has begun.

Awesome! My 2 favorite cars! I used Epic this weekend for the first time and was stunned. I started circling the Clubman looking for dust to remove!

Looks great! But the only thing missing are the "Befores". It's all about the relative improvement, and just showing the afters only shows how shiny the car is now--but maybe it was pretty shiny to begin with. Not saying it wasn't, but in the interest of trying to show how good a product is, you should show atleast one Before condition shot, and one in progress shot of the improvement being made. The rest is just eye candy.

Good work!
