This was the worst type of paint I have ever worked on. Hated it. Some scretches stayed no matter what I did. The paint marred very easyly, regardless of how gentle I tried wiping off the polish. :soscared: :soscared:
I did go back and remove more clear around the door handle but not all of it.

the owner should take these pics back to the "detailer" that did it before you and demand their money back.

Ya know, If I could get away with charging $220 for that kinda work, my profit margin would increase massivley.
Great job, what is the lsp?

That came from a "high end" detailing shop? Oh man... Great work on the restoration though! Should mail in those pictures to that shop. The first garage shot is money!
I`m actually curious as to how the work at the detailing shops down here are... though I just can`t brng myself to send in my car to have it potentially messed up

High end detailer? :o
Those after shots are super reflective! I might have to try CG`s Extreme Top-Coat Paint Sealant.
