(Wanna talk about swirls,http://adamsforums.com/forums/images/smilies/willy_nilly.gif)

One of my customer's wanted a full paint correction package done this weekend so I thought I would post a few shots with my new Digital Camera.
This car needed full correction done after 6 years of neglect.
Interior took 8hrs and the exterior took another 12.
I used my Flex with the Kompressor pads /OHS for large area's and my PC/OHS for the a,b pillars. (BTW,the Optimum spray compound and polish ROCKS!)
I left a piece of detailer's tape on one of the quarter fenders to show the customer before and after (I corrected the swirls/scratches after pic's were taken).The customer didn't realize just how BAD the finish was!
Needless to say I have another regular client to add to the list http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_6.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNman000)

Looking at that first picture, it seems you had your hands quite full.

Very nice work.

That is the same yellow I had on my Mazda Protege 5.

Was that a single stage paint?

Nice job! But I have to ask, what is up with that tailpipe extension in the last picture?

The cstomer had (2) of them.One on each side.
But to each their own.

It was not single stage.It was base coat/clear coat.

Nice save...

It would have more impact if you inserted your pictures instead of attaching them... like this,

Did you start with Yellow pad for correction then White for polish with the Opti Twins?
