OMG!! WHAT IS THIS? Please tell me it's rust or something not removable before I have a heart attack!! (j/k :D)

It's incredible - have you been caring for this car for a while or is this a revival?
 
That looks great! My neighbor has a 79 SL450 we're trying to clean up by next weekend, he's giving it to one of his sons. It's not the origonal paint, yet doesn't have a clear coat, so we've got tons of work ahead of us. Is a clay bar safe for non-clear coat paint jobs?
 
the whole car looks terrific!

as anon professional the thing that stands out to me is the grille and the front bumper. i see the dings but the metal really impressed me on those shots. having a black truck with a lot of added chrome i look for things like that. if i owned that car i would be very happy with your work

I think it's left over from removing the old "sound-proofing" material?

Great job, Dean!! :bigups
 
cwcad,

Good eye !!! The bumper has been replaced since the detail !!!

As for the sound proofing under the hood that was also replaced.

dalmore,

Car was not a transformation, but about 5 years overdue for a good full detail. Paint really came back to life easily. DACP to the rescue once again !!!

groebuck,

My main man !!! Check your PM's this week. A friend of mine was so impressed with the avatar you did for me that he asked if you are available to create a website for him ???
