Default 2006 Torrid Red Pontiac GTO - paint correction**

I've been meaning to get this thread going for a while.

I've been detailing and polishing since l was 14, I couldn't drive my first car for a while but damn that thing shined....

This is my lady's goat, we picked it up with some real bad swirls...original owner seemed to have no concept of proper paint care.









I know I could've taken better before pics but I was in a hurry to get to work..







Finished

















Let me know what you guys think



and I would definitely be willing to do some work for any one who is interested, I'm in the San Gabriel Valley....post here or pm!

Looks awesome bro! Nice job!
Beautiful car man, but honestly imo I don't like those badges.
Bet it took a long *** time to clean her up and make her look that good.

Yea, I've been considering taking the front one off... I'm good with the rear one though.

Thanks! It took me 10+hours to get it done.
I didn't realize what a boat that thing really was until I started working....

Im sure you do, but the only issue with those waxes is you cant layer it like some of the more expensive waxes like Zaino and other brands. It just does not last as long, so you need to apply it more often.
