This is my own personal ride. It was long overdo for a full correction. I'd say the paint was pretty trashed with scratches and swirls, some RIDS and water spots. It had seen better days. The pictures really don't show how bad it was lol. I only did 1 50/50 which I apologize for. Total time spent on this correction is 25 hours.

Here are the before pictures:

The entire car was pretty much like this

Nice job! I am a sucker for deep blue paint jobs that are well maintained.
 
Great job Caleb!! The 50/50 shots show a dramatic difference in the reflections and the gloss. The afters just show how wet tr paint is. Detailing the car properly really makes the car look better than new.

Keep up the good work!
 
awesome caleb, looks like I've got some competition! You're definitely in the lead right now as when i was hit and ran the body shop threw in some swirls for free :D

we need a sonic blue shoot, iirc va_boy or something like that off of MM wanted to do one as well, three sonic blues? we'd make history haha
