    A man contacted me who was interested in a paint correction to fix some damage from the dealer and improper finishing at the factory. After taking a look at the car, the two days I had to work on it weren`t going to cut it. This was more like a four day job, so I had to neglect a few less important things in hopes of finishing the polishing. Besides the car being over 18 feet long, there were a bunch of deeper trace sanding scratches that would require some serious compounding. We agreed to take care of those at a later date.





    Backed the car out of the garage, and it was just a little dusty.











    Rims barely had any brake dust.











    For a black car, that a dealer has touched, it wasn`t that swirled up either.

















    Started the wash off with the wheels.











    On to a two-bucket strip wash that revealed the actual condition of the paint.











    The dealer put quite a bit of glaze on the paint because it wasn`t quite so swirled up before and these holograms weren`t present before the strip wash.











    Suprisingly enough the car didn`t need to be clayed so I went straight to polishing. 50/50 of the rear quarter panel before the finishing polish.











    Section of the roof before the finishing polish.











    Hood after the finishing polish.











    Front fender after the finishing polish.











    Quick shot of the engine which will be addressed when the sanding scratches are.











    Definitely some unique projectors.











    Didn`t touch the interior yet, but it is quite nice.











    Suicide doors, not standard on your Camry.











    Mirrors with accent lighting.











    Some finished shots.









































    Next on the list...
