Before: this car was in pretty bad condition... but i had no clue what i was in store for until after the wash...........

























scrubbing ARO on the top



after washing and clay



















so at this point, i am in complete astonishment of how bad of a paint job this car had!!! it looke like it barely got wetsanded and buffed after leaving the body shop!!! and i had yet to even put the light to it! honestly i was afraid of what i would see!

so i took a break and did the interior... my camera died after this pic... so i charged it while i did the rest, but forgot to take pictures after...

i went back the next day to finish up the interior, do a FK# 425 wipe and black WOW. but i forgot my camera.

i hope you guys enjoyed seeing what a little elbow grease and some polish can do when it comes to restoring REFLECTIONS

That looked like a freaking nightmare and if I saw that in person I would never buy it!! I mean that guy must have never washed it and went offloading or something to get it to end up like that. Great job restoring the luster. Looks almost brand new again

[ScheerSpeed]

the entire car was repainted!

[biggygo]

very nice work!!

I need to find someone around here (Charleston, SC) that can do that level of work

Makes me wonder what kinda douche owned it before.

[ScheerSpeed]

the whole car was repainted because it was a salvaged car.

thanks for the comments everyone!
