jevansio Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 You are a magician sir, you sure you didn't quickly respray it while no-one was looking, those results are outstanding!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 what is better, detailing or mopping? mopping doesnt even come close! a mop takes a couple of hours and is usually done with G3 and a rotary or large buffer and a detailer can correct all the work the painter has caused to prove, this is my car under halogens that had just been resprayed and was then was mopped by a pro painter, before after before after 100% perfect now and the colour looks so different! ( even brand new cars can look like the befores) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
