What was once bird etchings and sap from years ago:

50/50 shot of the roof. (hard to tell the difference in this picture due to lighting)




So here's a close-up:

Some NASTY deep scratches were found on the hood, so I wet sanded them.

Also wet sanded 3-year old sap left on the hood:

After about 2 hours of polishing/sanding we have a 50/50 shot:

(obviously the left side untouched)

All I could snap today. It's completely finished. When the owner picks it up and I do a final wipedown/trim/window treatment, I will snap some "full shots" outside of the car completely finished. :)
