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.

Ahh, I see Carn posted. Bluebiggrin

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.

I actually forgot to take pics of the engine bay, will take some this weekend though, we are doing his X5 on sunday.

This car is supercharged with a Gen 2 stage 3 Active Autowerke kit, incl meth injection.

car is running at 0.5bar boost and putting down 380kw.
