Looking good!

WTF is wrong with people..? Why buy a black car and then wash it with sandpaper? Blah.. I understand people are busy but even with full time school and a full time job I was able to take time out at least once a week to spend a couple hours carefully washing, waxing, buffing, etc. on my black C6 that I had in order to keep it from getting swirled to hell. I probably won't buy another black car though just because of the amount of time it takes to keep it nice.. White or Silver are probably best for people with no time or motivation to clean stuff lol.

Great Job! 100% Improvement

Nice!

I have great appreciation for that work. I took about 8-10 hours over the span of two days to undo the fine scratches from dirty towels, improper washes and the rare automatic car wash over the last 3 years on my car.

I'll definitely be paying more attention to technique and polishing a little more often going forward.

Again, job well done! Black can be a cruel bitch or the sexiest mistress.
