PIC HEAVY

This is my step moms car. This car has NEVER been detailed. She took it through the auto car washes here regularly. Down here the teenagers in the trucks mud alot and take them through those washes. Well, the paint tells the rest of the story.

Some recent touch ups were done with the rotary.

The initial correction was done with a PC7424. This was before I got my rotary. This past week I came behind with the rotary and got these photos. She had taken it through an auto car wash once since I detailed it and it put some nice scratches that required the wool...

There is some orange peel still left over, but without a paint gauge I am not going to touch it.

It was on the house. My dad said I could have some, so why not. Not my favorite, but it was a good drink.

Every picture is slightly different, but I know it looks like I have the same pic up multiple times. I was using my step mom's work camera, not even her good one and I was trying to adjust to it.

Also, the car has been repainted.

Hope you enjoyed.
 
Looks good! Hopefully that evil car wash doesn't get a hold of it again.:xyxthumbs:
 
Looks good man, Makes me miss my old '06 SS Supercharged

Now maybe you can convince your step-mom to stay away from those car washes.
 
Excellent job Dylan! I bet your step mom was thrilled to see her car after you turned it around ...Great work!
 
The whole car?

Yes. It was in a tornado, the one that hit my highschool. that one. She was there trying to check my brothers and I out of class when it hit. They wouldn't total it because it only had like 4k miles on itt. We bought it brand new.

Yes she was. She knows nothing about paint correction, but she even noticed the HUGE difference in the gloss and depth.

Thanks man.
