    That`s a shame. Should make for a good writeup though Hope You`ve got some big guns for that job. I wouldn`t think twice about doing some hand scrubbing with a Trizact pad on that one lol.

    Wow. Talk about hammered and trashed. Dude I think we`re in the land of steel wool or worse. I hope you photo document this so that when you hand him you bill you don`t get any push back. I don`t think I would touch that car with out an written agreement. Looks like a lot of work.

    Re: Holy cow! *** Updated***

    Here it is after a brutal weekend with this thing. I was able to get about 75% correction. I`m still sad I couldnt do more but it wasn`t safe....








    Thanks for looking

    Looks much better! Making the client happy and saving paint for the future is what is important! Nice save.
