This 2013 Audi RS5 came to me with the worst swirls, buffer trails and scratches I had ever seen in a practically new car. Car had about 11k miles, the owner took it on several road trips and was not afraid to drive it. He was also not aware that Mechanical car washes scratch and put swirls into the paint. After looking at the paint, I offered him a full paint correction. Picked up the car on a Monday and kept it to Wednesday. Did not have too much time to take pictures during the process but I did try.
All iPhone pictures (My DSLR was not working, next time Ill be sure to use it.)
