Today we have a Mini Cooper S that needs to be cleaned up before the owner puts it on the market. Overall it’s not in terrible shape, and it’s a great color since no matter what light source I used I could not capture the light swirls with the camera. This was a one-step correction, but unfortunately from a swirls point of view the before and afters would have looked almost identical since this paint hides imperfections so well. I can honestly say that 90% of the imperfections were removed during this detail.

Thanks! I got to deliver it, and it was a fun little car to drive. Too small for me, but fun none the less. Thanks! Thank you! I used two ounces in the foam gun and it produces plenty of foam.
