Default ThreeHonks' Trans Am WS6 - Detailed by Joel DeVriendt

I have been discussing with Joel about doing some minor paint correction on my car. I had some minor swirls, etc. just from use and washing it over the years. I want to have it in near perfect shape when it comes out of the garage this year. I knew Joel had the experience and knowldege to get my car how I wanted!

I dont have any in-progress pics, but the car was taped off and went over with a few different pads and techniques and had a final coat of wax. Im sure Joel will maybe chime in if you guys have any questions.

Here are the finished product pics! Enjoy!

(pics to follow)

please excuse the camera quality, it does not do it justice. These were taken on like a 10 year old 7megapixel POS digital camera

Swirls and minor wear can usually be taken out with a good buff and polish, could have saved you some big bucks. Regardless that paint job looks great!

Looks great and nicely done with all the little details. The blacked-out/polished look is the way to go.
