detail pics

Recently had a paint correction detail done due to swirls, holograms, ect in the finish. The previous owner didn't realize a black car is a 2nd job. My guy had the car for 3 days, 15+ hours and it came out lovely. The car was perfect for 2 days, then it rained.

Wow very nice! It's amazing how bad paint can get and what they can do to fix it! I'm sure the detail wasn't cheap either!

I was shocked when he put the halogen lights on the car before the job, tons of imperfections. Paint correction is a whole different game then just wash, clay bar and wax. He's the best by miles....wasn't cheap but the results were fantastic.

Car came out looking very sharp. I need to have this done to mine someday...soon.

Did you have any paint nicks or chips and were they 'erased' as well?

Will you PM me the shop name if Chuck won't let you post it. I noticed he edited your post.

Thanks guys, the car had no paint chips. Lots of swirls, holograms, and a few random isolated scratches. Clearcoat had to be leveled then polished and shined. The car was brought back about 80%, its my DD.

I'll shoot u guys PM's, none of my posts were edited fr my knowledge. I was careful as I don't want to upset the man...jk

Yea I get around, lol. I really loved the M5, but this car is just dead sexy. Now, as with most of us, I must restrain myself fr flipping this car in 3 years to something else! The good thing about a TT is the power upgrades, skies the limit.
