After - you can see some imperfections that didn't want to come out.

Car is going to be for sale.

Wow Tom!! Very impressive as usual. Love the finish and great defect removal. As far as I can tell, you achieved the highest level of correction given the age of the paint, while still being safe.

Love the reflections and depth. Can't wait for the full shots tomorrow! I think we are expecting good weather tomorrow up here.
