This is my clay after some of the upper panels. It was way worse once I got below the doors.

All finished!

Unfortunately it got really cloudy and actually started sprinkling about 20 minutes after I left. The customer got it into the garage just before the rain.

I wish I was able to get pictures of it in the sun because the flake in the paint really pops.

Nice correction, that engine bay looks fantastic!

Do you think the power lock darkened the blue?
 
Really a nice vehicle. Good job. What kind of endurance do you get from the Menz Powerlock?

Thanks guys.. They say about 6 months give or take, but most of my customers take their cars through automatic washes. So I am not actually sure how long it will last in reality.
