Before pics...This thing had major swirl marks on it. As you can see below :ph34r: Bird s*** that probably wasnt washed for for over a month. I even had a really hard time getting it off with the clay bar....

After

Awsome work man. Great job.

Whop dee do.

I did the black Lincoln this weekend and had major swirl marks from the car wash and bird s*** stained in the hood.

Also had a large scratch near the gas door.

You don't see my pics do ya.

Why?

Because it's no big deal.

If I decide to put the car in @ Performance World next year Flo I am so heading out your way to give my car a going over before it gets put on display...

what do you charge for something like this?

This was the Paint Correction package, which is $400. Check the link in my sig for other pics.

I'm in the Ottawa area though. Should probably say that somewhere on my site. lol.

Dan - No problem at all! :D

Did you detail your subi like that yet?

And that bird took a nice dump on that suv. Don't know how people can drive like that for months.

Not yet, and it needs it bad. The last 2 week-ends I wanted to get it done, but had some last minute requests....and well...I dont get paid doing my own. :)

I want to paint the inside of my lights black too...so maybe I'll get that done this month. For sure before any serious salt starts hitting the roads. I'll post pics once I do though...

No s***...that stuff bonds to the paint...I have a rag in the trunk just to get rid of it when I park at work. :angry:

Care to list what was used?

started off with a good acid wash, then claybar, then a bug & tar remover...

Then I worked the paint with wolfgang 3.0 swirl remover with a yellow cutting pad. Then wolfgang finishing glaze with a orange cutting pad. Then 2 coats of Collonite Wax by hand.

This one took me 2 days, about 6-8 hours a day...depends how much beer I drink. :lol:

Shouldn't Nate be sponsoring the site if he is advertsing a service with a link to an external site.

Did you need a step stool to reach the fenders? :lol:

DA or rotary? What brand of pad?

Same as always! Porter cable with Lakewood pads.

PS, this truck is from the GTA, he only went through those 10 minute car washes ...you kow the ones with 10 guys washing your car. Probably the same bucket of sand-water for all cars...all day....

Stay away from those if you like swirl free paint. :lol:
