Here's the tool we're going to use.

We just finished Doc's Alfa and you guys are going to be blown away!

All the "after" pictures are on my camera and I'll add them to this thread tomorrow, but until then, here's a "before" picture using the overhead florescent lights to show how wiped-out the paint is on this car.

This swirls and scratches in the paint on this car have to be in the Top 10 List of worst cars I've ever worked on.

After pics tomorrow....

Ohhhhh the suspense!

C'mon Mike!!!! ;)

[Sicoupe]

Looking forward to it MIKE!!:)

[Chevota Guy]

Oh, just great... Now I won't sleep again until I see those pics.

[Klasse Act]

wow!

How exactly does it get to that point on THAT type of car, seriously:poke:

[MarkD51]

Looks like a previous detailer used those new "Green Pads", sourced from 3M, known as Scotchbrite! Dayum! LOL

You almost can't even see the lights in the reflection, let alone anything else.

[Wicked61]

Good God man! That hood was massacred. You are being too kind in stating swirls. Patiently waiting for the afters.

[antti@561detailing]

I was surprised how it turned out...

[2012SilverSport]

Wow!!! That is pretty bad, can't wait for the after shots!!!

[FrankS]

I was surprised how it turned out...

Me too and with using a PC! What a difference between before and after.

Ditto here, my dad had a 1967 Alfa so can't wait to see this transformation.

Me too and with using a PC! What a difference between before and after.

Here's a crappy phone pic I took afterwards...more of a teaser to Mike's awesome after pics.
Thanks Mike for the opportunity to come out, learn some techniques and meet some new people.
I will certainly return to another detailing night and start ordering tools and products to maintain my cars!
