LS1fbody detail

not much to say, car was dirty, scratched, swirled, and in need of help. we painted the lip earlier this week and put the headlights in. next step was full paint correction:

before:

after:

glamour shots, didnt do to many because BIG changes are going to be done friday/saturday.

pictures dont really do justice to how bright this mfer is now. these are all 100% raw unedited pictures.

my yellow car will stay nasty looking until I find some cash. Do you think a good local detailer could do as good as a job as you?

we have to recycle, so we have 3 different trash cans for each of three things. there are probably like 10 items in each can, it's rediculous.

what materials do you use to restore the paint like that? And I am still trying to figure out how to get my headlights to fit flush like that. They are always misaligned somewhere.
