    So this was a vehicle that a customer of mine bought at auction for a great deal for his daughters first car. It needs some work that you will see in the pics. The top needs to be replaced, the bumper is about to fall off, and the wheels need to be refinished. He came to me wanting to make the car look as good as possible for his daughter but he wasn't after the type of correction he gets on his cars.

    On a side note this was my first time trying Powerlock and Adams In & Out spray and I am in love with both products now!

    Wash
    Foamed with DP Extreme Foam
    Dried with compressed air
    Clayed with Ubar Claybar w/ ONR for lube

    Wheels

    Wheels before. Since they need work I didn't spend too much time on them, but they will look sweet once they get refinished.

    Most of the exterior trim looked like this but the mirror trims were the worst.

    The hood had the worst defects.

    Trying different combos. I wasn't happy with the amount of correction with the green pad so I moved up to M105 on orange.

    Hood correction. If this was full correction I would have gone further but for what the customer was looking for, and the state of the rest of the car I felt this was perfectly acceptable. And to ease my mind the customer was super impressed with the correction.

    I got good correction on everything but the hood. Here is a picture of the fenders.

    Thanks, yeah I like it too, really sparkles in the sun!
    Thanks. I've been super busy with details here and there but I don't like posting just clean ups and this is one of the first corrections I've done recently. I've got several booked in the coming weeks tho so :mounty:
