I tried to upload this a few days ago and had an epic fail. Finally have some time now. I have been loading pictures with thumbnails for quite some time and never tried to upload without them.
Big props to ihaveacamaro for posting that video with the tutorial. Here is the link http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tips-techniques-how-articles-interacting-discussion-forums/54730-how-upload-photos-autogeek-proper-way.html

This is my brother's friends car. He bought it used with 56,000 on the meter at night, thinking the car was in good shape. Lesson learned for him. I took a look at it a week ago in the sun and pointed all the swirls and defects that were on it. After showing him what I saw he agreed that it was pretty bad. He wanted to see if I could get them out. I told him I would try my best to get them out.

I did not get them all out and was not comfortable with several light scratches that seemed to be deep, but tried my best and I feel made a great improvement. There were also touch up paint on several areas that a previous person did. Also, the bumper had tons of rock chips that are not noticeable in the pictures.

I was happy with the results and more importantly he was very happy.
Thank for looking.
