Took on a job that was almost as bad as the Expy when I bought it. Black paint that looked more like dark white......

It took about 10 hours to get this Pathfinder back in shape, but they were thrilled with the results and paid accordingly :D

This was the first time I've used Wolfgang 3.0..... I will most likely never buy Zaino again. The 3.0 goes on much easier and leaves the paint a lot slicker than anything else I've used.

Products used:

1. Flex 3401 orbital buffer
2. Meg's clay
3. Menzerna SIP
4. Menzerna 106fa
5. Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant
6. Zaino Grande Finale

what did you charge for this job? I know jobs tend to differ as there are many variables. I love doing paint correction but i find it hard to market it where i am due to people just not understanding it and its potential and a lot of people just don't want to pay.

They would rather pay the joe down the road $90 for a full detail rather then taking pride in knowing the job was done correctly.
