There's still a ton of minor scratches but it looks 100x better than it did. This car probably hasn't ever been detailed. Maybe a wax here and there.

Sebastian, black cars look good in pics. Look at the car in person and it still looks like shit. If you do a good job, it won't show. If you do a bad job, it won't show. Trust me I have done a couple of black cars that did not look good....so don't give that bullshit excuse. I light car will ALWAYS look good. No one car really see swirl marks, and if you 'fix' them no one will notice the either. Black cars are a bitch to REALLY make loof good. Ask Nismo and Ty, and anyone that has seen me detail cars....we usually do 2x more work on them

^^^ yea i know Hector.. i have a black car... its a bitch and 3/4 to make it look halfway decent... all im saying is that the effect is much better on a black car... than on a lighter one...
you can do a crappy job on max and u can do a great job on it and it still looks the same...

+1 for what Hector said about black. I speak from experience.
Looks like you got the finish looking much better than it was...but clean and treat those wheel wells. I was hoping to see a duplicate after pic of the right front with the sun on it.

Nice work. I don't see anymore swirls and the paint just POPS.:thumbsup:

^^ There's definitely still a lot of swirls everywhere. It's just that I probably took away 80% of them. I'm not as talented as some of the others on here. The car still looks 100x better than it did before though.

I just picked up the basics from watching Ty and Hector when they did my car.
Nice job. Next time you're here or I'm passing through, you'll have to try some of my products.
