Volvo XC90 - Rare Color

:bigupsI was told that there are only 800 of this color.:bigups

I will not bother with the interior.:rofl:rofl:rofl

This was very hard paint. What ever 2 passes took out came out. Rst is still there, but not very noticable.

The hood has some etching already that I didin't address. Compounded it as much as possible.

Why is it that every car you post looks like it has been repainted afterward???

Great work.

Great work.

Proper polishing is the key. I use the same camera, however soetimes I do auto on the before pictures. Manual afterwards, but sometimes I do take them on Auto mode as well.

Thanks guys!

Great work as always! :bigups

This looks exactly like Nautical Blue which is a color that Hyundai offered only on the 2006 Santa Fe. Very few were sold and it was introduced late in an already short model year.

After re-reading my original post, it might seem like I am insinuating that you are playing with the photos. That is NOT what I meant by the post. I just meant the transformations were great. Sorry if that cam off the wrong way.

Jared - I know what you meant. I was just being a smart a$$.

Thanks everyone!

While working on the car I had a feeling that for the first time I am not making a difference look wise as the color once it was washed "looked" pretty good. But after stepping away from it for a few minutes to pack up my stuff I say the changes. Very nice color indeed.
