Black Volvo 850

Not in great shape, but the owner is a very nice guy. Has a 1965 Mustang with 88000miles on it. Red. I;ll detail it at a future date.



I ran out of sunlight for true after pictures. I was debating it after polishing the paint but I just waited too long. I wanted the waxed look in the after pictures. O well.

Paint looks excellent from what I can see in the after shots. Still kind of tough to get true before and afters until we go on daylight savings time. I run into the same thing when I detail cars in the afternoon.



The paint looks insanely deep in that hood shot. :drool:

Thanks Scott. All swirls were removed from the trunk/hood Areas next to the door handles have some defects - I just didn't want to damage the handles. I had tape over them, but still. Tomorrow is a silver BMW wagon so not sure about befores.



Next time I'll take proper afters, in direct sunlight.



I'll be doing a rover soon that is full of swirls - dark blue.

Thanks!



This is Fairfax County., although I don't always charge this much.



However, with dark colors that are neglected - I have to get paid.
