I usually do my own detail work but I wanted to get this one started off on the right foot by hiring a pro (first time I've ever done that). The car has been sitting in the garage for most of the past year with monthly or bi-weekly drives at most. It received a full detail until this week. There are several before photos, some side by sides and some after photos along with the detailer's commentary. It was done by Mirror Detailing in Dallas, GA.
Here's a pic prior to taking the car to the detailer. It looks pretty good as it is but get that camera flash up close...
Condition of the paint prior to any work.
Rear area is where I did my testing. I did not even have to use a light source other than the over head light. Paint was looking pretty dull.
Test area, left side after just compounding, right side untouched.
After finishing the spoiler completely, you can notice the difference from the over head light alone...from the spoiler down too the truck lid.
Did a test area on the hood, bottom portion completely buffed, top portion not. You can notice a color difference between the two.
After everything was done, brought outside to check the work and get some pictures.
Back inside waiting on the owner to come pick it up.
