'94 Corolla - A difference you can see

I'm used to polishing new almost perfect cars. So its nice to do a job where you can see such a huge difference. I did it for a friend.. I think he's going to trade it in or sell it so he wanted it to look decent.

Used: 3M perfect-it 2, and Pinnacle Spray Wax.

Before:



After:

Nice turn around on that vehicle, did it have any clear coat or was it single stage paint? Just wondering.

I enjoy taking vehicle slike that becuae you see results almost instantly.

Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Lol, looks like the car only had 2 hubcaps to begin with, he probablty removed them to clean it amd put it on differently.

Car had NO clearcoat. The pad turned a brownish red. I havta take pics of it later.

And ya his hubcaps were on opposite sides.. I wanted to take them off entirely or at least sell him a set of OE ones.. but he didnt care for it.
