    We washed this car at an event after a long run and it was pretty filthy, before we started the wash we put the LED on it and saw that it was in need of paint correction. We booked the car for a paint correction a few weeks after. Enjoy the photos.

    It's nice being mobile sometimes, but I don't do anything else but paint correction and at times it's more of a hassle having to work out of someone's garage therefore I charge more hourly when I go on the road versus at the shop.

    From what read, it is for automatic car washes where the car goes/pulled on tracks, it allows you to turn the engine off and car in neutral but does not set the auto parking break as the 458 normally does when you turn the car off. Also used for pulling cars up and down flatbeds or trailers where you are not using the cars power but some external way of pulling it.

    Came out great, what were the polishes of choice? How are you liking that LED work light? I saw one at Lowes the other day but didn't know how well it would work.

    105, Power Finish 203, and 85 RD, the LED work light is decent but after I used it a couple of times I just decided to stick with my Fenix Head Light.
