Default Mustang GT 10hr correction detail

A cold day in San Francisco.... And before I got started on the GT, I got a proper welcome to the city....... by this exotic




Well, after that amusing start to the day I got to work. A lot to do in 10hrs so I got right to it early in the morning and finished late in the evening. Overall about 75% correction achieved.










50/50 shot









More swirls




















'Before' condition on tail light





'After'


















Finished pics were way late at night so I did the best with the light and space available






























Thanks for looking!

Nice job. I hope I can come close to a fraction of a good job that you did, on my own car.

Did you ask the owner why he voluntarily took a Scotch-Brite pad to his car? Jesus, that thing was terrible. I've never seen tail lights like that let alone the paint!

How on earth did you do that in 10 hours . I am very proficient correcting but Ive never been able to do that good of a job in so little time on paint that looked like that. Hats off to ya Jeff, you continue to impress.

Dark colors usually always have a dramatic transformation. I will admit in being a detailer, we can definitely show the absolute worst in a paint job! I promise you it takes a very fine balance of having a good camera/focus/angle/lighting to get swirls to show up in a picture. It's an art. They are much easier to see in person.

Great job once again GoFast.

Sorry I haven't responded, just have a lot going on right now and it can be tough to get on and answer everyone's questions.

Thanks!
