Lightning Paint Correction/Detail
My buddies Lightning. Absolutely terribly swirled-

Some before-





Some 50/50, keep in mind this is only with compounding, bare paint, with no polish or sealant-







and the after, he was a little more than pleased













AND THE INFAMOUS TAILGATE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT



obviously not perfect, but it was 100x more than he expected
