That is a pretty pattern there! Lots of this all over the car. Along with just about every other kind of defect you can imagine

Ok after cleaning the engine/washing and decon. I started figuring out my steps. Because I could capture any of this on camera under shop lights I dragged it out side to get some working shots.

2 compounding passes later! Slightest amount of haze which was polished out later.
OK fast forward 2 days later and about 35 man hours

Holy holograms Batman! That was bad as can be for a car that price with all those horrible holograms. Nice turnaround. I still gotta go visit the shop in Orinda when I get back overseas to the Bay Area.
