Your kidding right, those are best sun shots I have seen on here. They are close up and of the right angle to confirm there is no holograms or buffer trails in the paint. If others would do the same then there wouldn't be any doubts to their work.
Great job Jason your customer should be more than pleased with the results.

I thought the sun shots showed the level of correction as well:confused:

Thanks for the kind words and for understanding why I showed the sun shots....:cheers:
 
Well Jason I would like to see some close up sun shots of a certain black corvette that was full of swirls at detail fest.
