Okay, some more of my recent work. First up is an 06 Lexus that was absolutely killed by some hack. This thing looked like it had been washed with a brillo pad and had terrible holograms all over the hood. Some idiot with a buffer and wool was loosed on this one! Belongs to a dealership. The before pics are mostly up front but the whole car was like this. I spent 10 hours on the exterior paint correction only!! Anyway, no in the sun pics because it was raining. I promise to get better on my before and after pics as well as my write ups so just be patient with me!

Next up is a customer's BMW e92 328i coupe. Beautiful car and I didn't get any befores because I was rushed with time. Car had swirls from another hack detailer (she was actually a little scared to let me touch after what another "detailer" did to it). I showed her my M3 and she agreed to let me take care of her baby! I was actually surprised at how much orange peel this thing had from the factory! Also please forgive my old and messy garage!!! Waiting to lease a shop so everything has to be done here!

Here is another Lexus but just an SUV. This one got the whole exterior and interior. Not too many pics but you get the idea. This one was before I bought the Optimum products so I wanted to use some Autoglym on it. Used their twin system.

Last one for now is an 06 Dodge Ram from a dealership. This one had some pretty bad scratches in places so I just wet sanded them, hit those areas with Menzerna SIP, and one stepped the rest of the truck with Optimum Poli-Seal. That stuff is pretty impressive! Since I had only spent a couple of hours on it I decided to give it a quick wipe down with Opti-Seal. No before pics but here are a few afters.

Nice work on the lexus. Man that is a newer one and it was hammered that bad!?

Nice job on all, especially the hacked Lexus.

that lexus looks like they threw the whool pad in the sand before they used it.

very nice!

Thanks guys. Yeah, that Lexus is probably the worst I have dealt with in some time. Couldn't believe it when I saw it!
