those marks were on the curve of the trunk...small pits in the clear coat, the r/f fender also had them
I achieved about 98% correction on this car....there were some clearcoat issues but overall the most of it came out perfect. Also had a few RIDS but client didn't want to sand/buff, but they were very difficult to see even under sunlite.

thanks Jake, dave, gary and meghan

update on Auction saturday....bids went to $38,000.....declined went back to auction today.....come on do I hear $50,000
