This is a brand new car and not only there were swirls and scratches on the car but worst of all it is a HUGE BLACK car, Mitsubishi Pajero.



I will go straight to the before and after photos on the defect removal, you can see how bad the condition of the paint work was even though it is a new car.

My goodness that thing was trashed! My eyes actually opened wide when I saw the afters. Excellent work, as with all the details you do! How long did it take you with the DA?

Damn dude. That thing looks brand new now, AND IT IS! Top notch reflections, very effective da usage and very wet paint.

Hi guys, thanks for all the kind compliments ;) .



jtford95, kaval - This detailing took me around 8.5 hours to complete.



ajbarnes - not actually with a PC but a Festool RO125 :grinno:



mr.ikon - Seriously, I really have no idea how that happened, when it came to me it was already in this terrible condition.

crazy insanely clear reflections.

Nice correction job, Gen2 I want to ask, the IP/RMG and Orange pad removed the defects in one pass?

Wow, the paint reflects just like the glass. Thats a weird looking mirror on the front fender.

Amazing transformation! I have to agree with Radyz, that thing in the fender is really weird!
