Not a full correction detail but (later I did the hood anyways) as it looked pretty bad.

the rest of the car was ok and many lighter swirls were removed in the polishing process. The trunk would also need some deep polishing.

Is this the one from Maryland? Either way looks great.

Its nice to see a before shot that is clean and not full of crud and bugs. I dont know why people post before pictures of cars that have not been washed in months and then compare that to an after shot. I guess they feel its more impressive.

Looks much better. Amazing what you can do even with a two step paint process.
