Default 28 HOURS LATER!! ISF Concours pain finish!!

Well after two weeks between school, work, and fires here in Texas Ive finally finished my 28 hour paint correction process...most dont view the detailing thread in forum and see many post pics here so here is some shots! WATCH YOUR EYES! the unrivaled concours finish may affect your sight. Used FLEX and PC buffers, menzerna compound, polishes, and glazes, and wolfgang wax ) enjoy not perfect full car pics but some along the process with different wheels...Hope you all enjoy

You took 28hrs to polish up that paint to post up cell phone pics?

Can't wait for the pro shots. It looks nice but can't really tell too much

LMAO!

Looks like you got good results there, but post better quality pictures for this kind of post.

Looks great for sure. I spent a week last month doing the same on mine. It took me a little over 35 hours but I have black.

Great Job!

It looks really good from the pics thus far. That's some dedication you have to keeping it nice and clean, which is really a great thing! Now you can enjoy your F even more!

Appreciate the hard work and it shows, especially in the Metador
Like someone else said, take some better pics with a real camera. I just can't understand one thing...why you would dump the stock BBS wheels for some cheap Axis wheels on your $60k car?

I think you need your rims to be a little more aggressive.

Good job on the car though.

Yea want some with step lip like adv brand... It's either go big or go home and was quoted 6900 for wheels I want...and being conservative and the nature of Houston roads after bending up some Mahdi ceasars on my is350 and some foose speedsters on my vette in past I'm good without worries of unkept roads where I run into at times... bs money in the bank is somewhat of a hobby now so it's hard to spend excessive amounts again on wheels even though i drool constantly over well made wheels with excessive lip
