Holy sheep!

No 50/50 but here are some shots of my fr-s after being clayed, polished with a porter cable with griots # 4 and an orange hex logic pad, sealed twice with chemical guys jet seal 109, then waxed with petes 52, and at the end a little gloss enhancer.










Ill take some better ones in daylight.

Noob in me asks, what is the point of these 50/50, beside showing off the pictures?
If you were detailing your own car why not just detail the whole hood and such instead of doing it twice?
