The one thing that kinda sucks is hard to appreciate how flat the paint is on a white color

The rear hatch still has a week or two of curing before sand and polish

Lovely job! While the fronts are often tackled, the rears are frequently overlooked. They really help in making the car look factory fresh again when restored like that; great result :thumbsup:
 
That's impressive - I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. :thumbsup:
 
wow those are some unreal results :thumbsup: . I've only ever used 3m compounds and polish products on my paintwork. I may have to give it a try after seeing your results. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yea for some reason this plastic buffs out like butter.
 
Don't be friends with a dude that can't Cut & Polish all the way to the edge 😁
