Before pictures, the paint correction process was go over everything with SIP and orange then everything again with 106FF in white. The trunk was had a clear bra over the entire thing so I just went over that once with 106FF on black. Yes, this did take forever, and black... is awesome
There are no before pictures since it was pretty clean anyway. Let's just start with the heavy stuff!
Man, this dude washes his cars with rocks!
This is a pretty nasty scuff that he got just out of nowhere. I'll update this one later!
and he is ready to start!
Did I mention that this thing is awesome?
passed with SIP and 106FF
after one pass of SIP
update on the previous scuff
it's a party when ironic's car is here!
Engine bay after clean up. No dressing. I'll get some eventually...
What if ironic went blue....?
My friends went ahead and did that while they were bored.
After LSP
Sorry, but I forgot to tell him to take some pictures of the rear too. Enjoy!

AMAZING!!!!!! HOT DIGGIDY!!!!!
That how you detail a black car. The green combo is very well though out. Not too much or too little, but just enough to notice the contrast between the black and green. Very good photography, bad photography will just ruin a great detail job.

Results are awesome!
Out of curiosity, do you charge by the hour, or a customized price per car/job? What ballpark would a 'project' like this run?
