Attention To Detail - Lexus IS350 Paint Correction
Some of you may know I do auto detailing + paint corrections as a side-business through college, and have been doing it since I was 14 in early high school. This is a recent paint correction on a Lexus IS350. If any of you are interested in having your car done, I'm located 30-45 minutes south of Atlanta, and am doing a deal throughout December - $300 for 3-step corrections & $250 for 2-step corrections, this includes a full interior detailing free of charge. Those who know how much paint corrections cost will understand that this is a fraction of what they normally run for (usually $75+/hr), and (3-step) paint corrections are 12-16 hour projects on average. All work that needs to be overnight will be done in my personal garage in a heated environment with high-grade supplies and equipment. Come help a college student out and have your car look like it just rolled off of the assembly line! Pictures of the progress and before/after will be taken with an SLR to keep records of. As a car enthusiast and perfectionist, I love the work. Will also be posting more threads on past, present, and future jobs.

Initial pictures. Paint wasn't too bad but definitely took some work and elbow grease.
Onto the correction :
Pretty scratched up right here, gave this area some extra attention.
One final picture to display how aggressive this vehicle is.
