just a sample of what the entire car looked like just before i polished the paint.it was covered in medium swirls, baked on road dirt & some salt. the paint was pretty gritty as well.

drivers door 1 swirles

drivers door 2 swirles


drivers door 1 after polishing it a few times

drivers door 2 after polishing it a few times


i was able to remove the swirls about 95% with just a one step polish & a few passes on the rotary.
i went beyond what dan & his father were expecting with the results of the detail. both of them were happy, too bad it was raining by the time they left the shop.
