sundevil07's paint mod

Sneak preview page 9!!

Well, after three months of weekly washes since i corrected my paint... Here are some pics of my car after another quick wash. Note: I have not applied any wax or sealants since the detail three months ago. I would say its holding up well







and as to how the paint is really holding up..



dont mind the water spots lol



the worst swirls on the car, where i lean against to fill up (bad habit)





reflect







so if you want me to take your paint to another level pm me, ill travel!

Stacy i had just turned my car on and my headlights need to "warm up" before they are at full brightness

I didnt wetsand my car as you can see in the pictures there is still the factory orange peel, although i would like to wetsand my car and have the color and body lines POP more.

I feel sorry for you guys in the harsh winter climates, i washed my car with flip flops on today lol. Thanks for all the compliments!
