This customer had seen some of my work online and looked me up. He just purchased the car and said it had only been washed twice since he'd gotten it! There was just a little over 9k miles on the odometer! This is my kind of guy, haha! So, obviously there were some dealer defects and some minor hard water etching on the roof, trunk and spoiler but overall the car was in real good shape, just need a light swirl removal.

Nice job removing the swirls and etching. Absolutely love that color too. :)



Would love to see some sun shots if possible.
 
Taping up seems like way too much work for "light scratches". Looks great in the end though, and that's all that matters.
 
Thanks everyone! It was raining when customer picked it up, the final pictures do no justice to this color in person! The flake is incredible! I offered the customer to give him a free wash this week since he picked it up in the rain, so I will get some more shots then!

Great job on the car. You did a pretty big portion on the roof for a pass. How much product did you use on that section?
