Not in great shape, but the owner is a very nice guy. Has a 1965 Mustang with 88000miles on it. Red. I;ll detail it at a future date.

I ran out of sunlight for true after pictures. I was debating it after polishing the paint but I just waited too long. I wanted the waxed look in the after pictures. O well.

Paint looks excellent from what I can see in the after shots. Still kind of tough to get true before and afters until we go on daylight savings time. I run into the same thing when I detail cars in the afternoon.

The paint looks insanely deep in that hood shot.

Thanks Scott. All swirls were removed from the trunk/hood

Areas next to the door handles have some defects - I just didn't want to damage the handles. I had tape over them, but still. Tomorrow is a silver BMW wagon so not sure about befores.

Next time I'll take proper afters, in direct sunlight.

I'll be doing a rover soon that is full of swirls - dark blue.

PS: I started around 10:30 and got in my car at 6:20 with a check for $300

Thanks!

This is Fairfax County., although I don't always charge this much.

However, with dark colors that are neglected - I have to get paid.
