Don - I think that this is the best detail I have seen come out of the Poor-boys stable. Very wet looking finish which is supplemented by a fantastic colour. The bonnet and roof reflection shots are simply jaw-droppingly good.
Fantastic work.

Hi Don
Very impressed with this project - Can you please tell this Newbie what the distilled water is used for ? Thanks
Pad prep would be my guess but Don can confirm
Used to prime the pad. Also helps in reducing spotting.
But Don can confirm...
Ahh, I see Carn posted.

Thanks man, as stated by Metsu and Carn, the distilled water is used to prep the buffing pad.
I also use it occasionally while buffing, just to keep the pad nice and moist, Menzerna is a water based polish so this works very well.
Great work Don!
Loving the reflection shots on that black roof, is it glass?
