the trunk before hand (you can see the lack of depth in the paint...my whole car pretty much looked like that)
he took my license plate off only to find this mess...


the scratches i had on my trunk


brandon claying my trunk


after


you can see the difference b/w the trunk and rear fender pretty well in this one (the fender had yet to be buffed)


hood paint before


after (buffing added so much depth...and notice the lack of swirl marks )



roof before


after


brandon working on the other side of my hood


finished result






i wanted to take some pics of the paint in the sun today (again to show the depth and flake pop gained)
