One of my Best detailing success stories (pics inside)

I was referred to this customer and told the paint was in terrible condition. When I looked at it, I had never seen such bad swirls and scratches. It almost looked like it was wet-sanded improperly and never buffed. The guy just bought the car, and got a GREAT deal on it, as he had the salesman as well as the car lot owner agree he would need to have it resprayed. He called me to get it looking less embarrassing to drive until he could paint it. I went to work, knowing I'd get some good results. Here are the befores, which were taken after a wash and clay.

I did all my work with a PC.

DACP/cutting pad

#82/polishing pad

#7/polishing pad

Gold Class Wax/Finishing pad

Final buff/microfiber bonnet

Here's what happened.

This was a couple months back, but I finally wanted to post pics. This was one of those that really makes your day when the customer does backflips down his driveway knowing I saved him thousands for a respray, and the car looks better than showroom. How could you not love to polish cars? So rewarding!
 
Holy Horrendo! :shocked



That thing looked worse than my mom's work van! But damn, did it ever come out beautiful! Excellent work and hopefully it leads into more referrals. :xyxthumbs

Yeah it was terrible! I'm hoping he had a few friends over to see it "before" and then after as well. They'd be nuts not to call me in the future. Those are the best types of referrals.
 
Very nice! It goes against my own philosophy of removing swirls with a PC. I'll have to pull mine off the shelf this week and give it a shot...thanks for the inspiration!
