Just a shout out to Glen to say thank you for bringing your truck down early as it's perfect timing and we were able to use it for a video we just shot for our SEMA booth.

It's a little trickier to capture light or shallow swirls and scratches on light colored paints but here's what I could get in the studio...

Big Picture
The big picture is that while this truck looks incredible, that is shiny and beautiful, a Pro Detailer doesn't see it as it is... they see what it can be...

While in the picture it can look like the scratches are isolated to a section of the picture that's actually not the case, the scratches you see are throughout 100% of the surface it's just hard to capture on camera...

900 x 700 original picture, no resizing...

Here's a few pics... I'll post the rest to the pictures and comments thread tomorrow...

Here's a couple after shots...

Not pictured above is Jeff my co-worker who had to leave early... here he is on the right buffing on the Ford and to the left is Glen, the owner of the truck. This is his first time machine polishing paint.

Thank you Janna, you did a wonderful job tonight...

More pics tomorrow here...
