halfway done??  what's left to do?  and what's black hole??  question questions.

After the body it was on to the glass and plastic/rubbers and then interior.
Black hole is a glaze, really makes it deeeep black, very nice http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/glazes/po ... d_494.html

Took some finished shots but they're still on the camera.

How good is the swirl filling with Black Hole? Easy to apply?

Done both but it's freezing out there!!  Not waxed them as the temp is too low... :cold:

Even used the chassis cleaner unit to get the salt & crud off from underneath the car and behind all the wheels etc.

If it freezes tonight I'll have my own skating rink in the morning.....

Found some nasty scratches in the clearcoat on the bonnet, and the last people to clean the car was the dealer!!  I'll have to try to polish them out, but not at all pleased!! >:(

Black hole is very easy on and off, I clayed and polished it first so it was already very smooth, think it's best to only use a small amount as it can be a chore to get off.

I thought 'Black hole' was the pit you threw your money at after subscribing to Detailing World )

Looking very bad (getting down with the kids speak!) that bumper looks like it just wants to eat any cars in front!

I think that would be a step too far painting the car )

Excellent - you see details you simply miss in colour.  The doors show reflections that I missed in the original and the clouds add to the mood.  All the other details, road, grass verge, trees and fence all fade into the background much more.  Am I sounding like Sister Wendy??  (535 you don't need to reply - your "yes" vote is a given!!)

Use of some IR filters might make it even more dramatic too.  Or even BW then refine with blue, green or orange (still with B&W not colour base image).

Am a bit distracted to play with it on Photoshop (would need the original too) this week, but may have some time soon in the wee small hours.... :'( )
