I haven't been doing many side jobs but I thought I'd post up Sunday's work.
This car was hammered. Hood was resprayed after an accident and the quality of the respray showed when it came time to getting it to shine up like the rest of the car. It had a dull appearance that refused to improve. I was told by the owner to "not go crazy" with it. Short of the major imperfections, the normal swirling and minor scratches corrected relatively easily.
The rest of the car had damage from impacts with other cars/objects, a broom or ice scraper did some damage on the roof, hood and trunk.
Basically? This car was a disaster, but I did what I could!
Befores:







Soooo many swirls!


And I don't think I've clayed a vehicle with this much fallout on it...I couldn't do an area small enough without the clay looking like this after only a couple back/forth motions.

Afters:
Swirls be gone...


Not the best lighting for after pics, but you get the idea....







Fwiw, M105 was the workhorse on this one.
