Thats a bottle of wax on the window, and the blue lines is wax. Just to avoid confusion.

I was gonna ask why you'd be working under florescent lights since it hides marring and swirls so good but I see you hadn't polished yet so it doesn't even matter.

Way to bring it back, can't wait to see what it looks like after it's polished/waxed with some direct light pictures.

What machine did you use and with what pad and product?
