911 Lapis Blue up for correction today. A few repainted panels and of course bodyshop issues with finishing/clean up.

Today’s vehicle was dotted on the rear and passenger side with road paint overspray. Three hours of proper overspray removal with a mix of water, solvents, and decontamination products.

A few deep scratches and 15% paint defects remain, however the vehicle is quite revived.
2011 Le Mans Blue 335 with some paint issues thanks to awesome dealership work. No dings on the vehicle, various paint touchup all over the vehicle.

Had an inquiry from the Tommy Gabele at Tom’s Garage in Apex. 2003 Honda Accord Nighthawk Black with repaints on various portions of the vehicle. Worse was the hood that had obvious huge issues from improper buffing and rotary swirling. Taking the challenge for the budgeted detail I was lucky to use my Rupes + Green Pad + Optimum GPS to greatly revive the paint without going into paint correction type work. A quickie, owner will be informed about possible one or two step details to address the rest of the paint defects. Thanks to Tom for the chance to work a tiny bit of magic.
New 528i Detail to address buffer swirling and overall neglect from the previous owner. Vehicle had 16K miles and the previous owner had a hack detail done. Trunk lid and front hood had a significant amount of buffer swirling from a high speed rotary.
