This is my own personal ride. It was long overdo for a full correction. I'd say the paint was pretty trashed with scratches and swirls, some RIDS and water spots. It had seen better days. The pictures really don't show how bad it was lol. I only did 1 50/50 which I apologize for. Total time spent on this correction is 25 hours.

Here are the before pictures:

The entire car was pretty much like this

very nice, especially the 11% IPA...very important to every car related project. Ive learned something from this, and that is to take the lights out, and use tape. When I get around to trying this, Ill be looking back on this thread

well looks like I need to make a trip to the 757 for more than one reason lol. Damn that car looks good!!!

Wow thanks Steve! That means a lot to me.

Damn man that was some serious correction! Looks absolutely awesome though. Damn I gotta get that good haha

Thanks bro :). Just takes patience and a keen eye for detail.

My Mr. Pink doesn't foam worth a shit. Does yours?

I'm not all that impressed with it foam wise. It had great lubricity though. I still prefer the citrus wash n gloss over everything else I've used. It even foams better.
