Hard to tell from the before and afters, but car looks good. I like how your grandma asked who you were talking to and in the pic where she is taking pictures of the car.

My grandmother in law always makes sure to tell me what a "pretty car" i have everytime im over at her house.

Good work

Looks glossy, but with only after photos there is no reference point for 10hrs of work.

Whats up the tire dressing? did you just spray it directly on the tire?

Well to answer everyone at once yes I wasn't able to get before and after shots that are worth anything because I just don't have that quality of a camera. I actually PM'd GOFAST to see what he uses. I tried to pick some of the swirls up in the first video but it didn't really come out too well.

Yep I ran out of my chem guys tire dressing and just used some black magic foam I had. Not bad actually but it's a spray on and walk away type. Wasn't quite dry yet.

Being that I do mobile detailing and it's 99% of the time just daily drivers that need a wash and wax. This was my first real 'correction' of the sort. I mean I will take scratches out of customers cars and my own but hadn't got down to the swirl level yet till now. I just took my time with my PC and I think it came out well without removing very much clear like alot of hack detailers do with a rotary.

I am a mobile detailer in Bloomington, IN

Headlights are the Depo pre-whistlered ones off amazon.
Corner lights are ebay
