My dad deserves everything and including a fully detailed car. He has only had it for a month or so and I could tell it desperately needed to be cleaned up. Didn’t get to do the interior, also have to do something about those moldings and get a few cosmetic items to make the exterior more cleaner.

Thanks for looking

[Petrucci_M3]

Also has anyone had this happen to them with a few pads?

First pad I'm assuming removed oxidized paint?

Next pad was my main pad I used it through the entire detail until it started to fall apart. This was my first time using it and I purchased it from ##.

Was my yellow pad a defect or was I messing it up on purpose?

[wytstang]

Not sure on the pads but great detail, pops should be very pleased with the results.
