I also painted the tail lights which came out very good

(after 105 before 205)

and the final shot as she was leaving the paint (what is left of it) polished out nicely couldn't do anything about all the chips and deep scratches

But thats it my first detail posted here on the forum
Thanks for lookin-Mike
 
Terrible condition is an understatement, surprised the roof was able to be brought back that good.
Great job!!
 
Thanks guys it was the worst car ive ever worked on ,the roof took about 3-4 passes with 105 and then 2 205 to remove some of the 105 stuck on there
 
Damn. That looks like a totally different car. You did good. Hope she uses you again for other cars
 
i hope so she said she doesnt know how to wash a car so hopefully i wil be maintaining that one at least
 
Great job. Did the oxidation come off on that fender? I figured that fender was going to have to be repainted, it looked gone.
 
Wow - fantastic work! I'm sure she was absolutely amazed when she saw it! Truly an amazing transformation.
 
infiltrator Yea the pictures of the 50/50 and the reflection of the zaino bottle and gun ad is that white spot!
 
i drove behind her to go get the money and the lights looked Nice black told her she needs to do the reverse bright white squares at least half dark and some bright bulbs
