Another black Fbody saved ;)

This one came to me from another forum member. In pretty rough shape with heavy swirls and RIDS o' plenty. Two days working on it brought about a good transformation. Weather wasn't cooperating when it was picked up, had rained just a couple hours before, so no sun shots unfortunately.

Wheels cleaned up. Insides were severely stained and needed to be removed to be fully restored, but still cleaned up pretty well.

Foaming...

Claying..

Looks pretty good here right? Lighting makes all the difference....

Now, lets leave the camera in the same spot and just change the lighting.... What do we have here? A LOT of work to do!

50/50 shots (compounding only)

This spot was putting up a fight, so I brought out the LC Cyan pad to help out

Corrected

Finished pics

Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

It's all good. It just caught my eye is all and I couldn't tell in the picture if they were done or not. Not knocking it at all because I admire your details every time, just curious. It sometimes can get so mundane with a long drawn out detail so small things while not a habit, do a times get missed. I like to always have an extra pair of eyes around to once over the car once I'm done just for good measure. Sometimes I get so used to seeing it, I miss things.
