Mediocre before. I had done the interior with a thorough vacuum and spot cleaned stains around the interior. Overall great shape.
From afar the car looks “good”.
Up close, paint was brutalized. For the trunk we can see buffer trails as seen in the white lines. These are burns that have to be repaired.
In progress – right 1/3 of the hood polished no wax. 2/3 of the hood has the rest of the buffer swirling.
After – polished and waxed, far more color saturation and depth.
A proper blue look.
