This client came to me as a referral. He was (understandably) embarrassed by the looks of his vehicle. It was completely covered in oxidized cloudy paint, haze, swirls, holograms, scratches; you name it, it had it!
He had taken it to a local car wash establishment for a ‘detail’. It came out with cloudy paint and run marks all over the paint. He asked them to fix it and they ‘buffed’ it and it looked a little better, however they put a ton of holograms and swirls into the surface, and the clouding was still apparent.
In comes Autodermatology to the rescue!
A paint correction and a glass coating were on order along with wheels off, engine compartment cleaned and dressed, windows and a quick interior clean up should get this Mopar back to looking the way it should!
