Just wanted to share with you guys a customer's GT500 I did last weekend. Unfortunately, it has been raining here for 2-3 weeks and had tons of overcast so I could not get BLING pictures, but wanted to share anyways. I started in the evening so the before pictures were taken in my garage and I was trying to get good angles to show the imperfections.

Let me know what you guys think.

This car has 8000 miles on it. It's a 2007. The car was pretty clean to the naked eye in the sunlight, even in an overcast. Without really staring into the reflections you could not see the defects. But once I hit it with the light stand everything popped out and you could see the dullness in the clearcoat.

Before pictures:

I used white pads and Wolfgang TSR on a PC 7424XP. The swirls weren't too bad and the white definitely got them out so I didn't think I needed to go orange.

This was my first detail from a paying customer, I usually just do friends and family and I wish I could have gotten more pictures.. but hell the car is in the shop now getting some suspension work and it already has finger marks all over it! The good news is when people come by and look at the car they ask who detailed it and I've gotten 5 new customers already scheduled in :)
