I think it is a 97. ONLY vacuumed the inside . After all it was an exterior detail.



Nothing special inside. after.

The paint really does look very good in the pics from a distance, but that orange peel in the up close shots is horrendous. Nice color though. What was the car's original color?

Yellow is not an easy color to make pop. You did a very nice job.....:xyxthumbs



Without flake in the paint, you need all the reflection you can get. I've found finishing with Z2 and Z8 to work fairly well with my millenium yellow C5. Looks like I'm going to have to give Optimum a try now......:D

Great turnaround! Excellent shine.



Is that car a repaint? And the bumper doesn't look like it fits right. :)

thanks!



yes it is a repaint, and will be repainted again. Original color was black. Also it is a metallic pearl. This car is hardly driven. As far as the bumper - don't know what to say. The car sits very low. Things can happen.



The owner lives very close by so I may take new pictures. The after pictures were taken in vivid mode. The before pictures are in auto mode.
