Some repainting had been done on the first half of the car. I didn`t get a lot of before or in-process pics as I was pressed for time, but it was pretty bad, so my client just turned me loose to do whatever was needed to make it look new again. After about 22 hours, 95%+ correction was achieved.









Correction:

-rotary M105 on LC PFW

-PCXP D300 on Megs MF cutting pad

-PCXP Menzneran 85RD on LC black (2 passes)













Water beading from the glaze used at the body shop. This needed to go.

What camera/lens do you use? I`ve never seen the sun `twinkle` so much in a photo. That is just dripping wet!

I have a Nikon D90, stock lens 18-135mm. I used to shoot in Program mode with the ISO and WB set to specific conditions, but I found that shooting in the Auto mode without flash often gives me better pictures in the daylight and better sunbursts, so I use that now. It actually saves time throughout the job as I`m taking pics too since I don`t have to constantly change the ISO/WB/etc...



Thanks Jaison
