Had this customer referred to me about getting his car shined up. Was in pretty decent shape over-all, since its only a 2006 with 12k miles on it. Customer just wanted it cleaned up and looking good for when he drives it once a week or so. So I...

Washed
Clayed
2-Stepped
Waxed

Not much in the way of befores since it was already pretty clean when it got to me... Unforently no sun spot afters since the sun was already behind the house. Paint cleaned up rather nicely. Landed around 80% correction and removed all the holograms.

Before:

Someone has already attempted to buff this thing...

A good bit from what he said.

Paint correction can take anywhere from 8-20 hours. This one was not truely a full correction and only took me around 4-5 hours from start to finish.


Great work once again! :D That Elise is beautiful!

cool!!!!!! you buff the gel coat... you just helped it oxidize and fade sooner. you could clear it instead. and it would have had a great shine and lasted longer.
