I wish the sun was out for the befores...

The trunk & the hood was repainted 2 weeks ago and came back with bufferswirls/holograms as usual.

I worked on it this morning.

the hood had very deep scretches - don't know where they came from.

oc - propel orange 1800rpm x3!!
op - lc orange 1500 rpm
op - lc white pad 1500rpm
ocw
#425

Sun came out and I was able to bring out the car to do the hood

op - orange lc pad 1500rpm x2
ocw
#425

what am I doing wrong? I hate to see those "ghosts" in the pictures or what ever they are called.

Can anyone help?

What ghosts are you talking about? And more importantly what is this 'sun' you are referring to?

The paint look incredible, btw!

Looks darn good now!!!

I think that sun thing has peaked out a few hours this week in Atlanta.

Thanks Scott.

I call it ghosting - look at the lower left of the picture. Those "waves" bother me alot. Then look at the upper right corner. Perfect and clear.

if ur referring to the first pic, it looks like those waves may just be very light cloud reflection. im sure if the direct sun was on the upper right corner, the same waves would be there. imo it looks great and i dont think its a problem. only thing i could think of is hazing maybe, but i dont know. OR it could be some sort of streaking from the wax app, but i doubt it, it honeslty looks great

I dont see ghost

Maybe Ghostbuster took care of it?

Anyways, the job came out excellent.

The original picture is fine on my computer. It happens once they are uploaded to photobucket.

Thanks guys!

The ghosting you are reffering to is low pixels #'s. Most likely photobucket lowers the pixels of the picture making it look like that... I think this is the case anyways.

Nice job on the car though T.
