Nothing special inside. after.



very good color to hide dirt.

Great turnaround! Excellent shine.

Is that car a repaint? And the bumper doesn't look like it fits right.

[Kenney]

what did you use on the trim?

The paint really does look very good in the pics from a distance, but that orange peel in the up close shots is horrendous. Nice color though. What was the car's original color?

Yellow is not an easy color to make pop. You did a very nice job.....

Without flake in the paint, you need all the reflection you can get. I've found finishing with Z2 and Z8 to work fairly well with my millenium yellow C5. Looks like I'm going to have to give Optimum a try now......
