Placed a big MF drying towel under the engine hatch to help prevent any dust from going in

The paint was in pretty good condition for 5 months, very light marring/swirls with the exception of a few areas that required some compounding.
 
This is the only good before/after pic i was able to snap. Had trouble trying to get defects on camera with this real light silver paint.

Thanks for taking a look!!!
 
What a privilege! I just booked my first pro-detail. I'm flying from Alamogordo, NM to Boise, ID to do a 2008 CL-63 AMG Mercedes. Very excited!
