Some Amateur Shots

After a 10hr exterior detail took some pictures:











The paint in my opinion still has a ways to go but I brought back some of the blue that was missing.

Thanks! I still need to do more to it, I'm going to wet sand it to get it perfect...might have to get the roof repainted though as it's in pretty rough shape. Just waiting to buy a paint depth meter to know for sure.

Definitely worth the effort. When I try it, you can guarantee that the rain clouds are following shortly thereafter !!!
But for the moment once it is done, it sure is nice to see it pristine.
Keep it in that tunnel because as soon as it exits, mother nature takes over.
Nice pics. Looks like you polished up those wheels real nice,. !!

Haha my friend actually did them while I polished...him and I are starting a detail business here and we were just getting our feet wet first with my car. I'm just going to need to find a whole week to do my whole car so I could atleast see those rain clouds in perfect quality off the reflection of my car

Very nice! There is something that stands out about a well detailed black car.

Perhaps it is the uneven surface as the car does look good and lowered in a few pics. Nice job! Keep it going and good to see you back on the road.

Playing with the pics... A bit of a change to the white balance, tweak some colors, then drop it like its hot.
