It was pretty dirty, The paint was pretty ruff, Had no reflection in the paint. Cal and i did a 3 step on it. We are both happy with the way it turned out. With both of us working our asses off it took about 6 hours to complete. We ended up ruining to wool pads, a foam pad and 100 grams of clay. So on to the pics. The car as we got it. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2468.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2468.jpg) ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2472.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2472.jpg) Mirrors were not looking so well. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2474.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2474.jpg) No clarity to the paint at all. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2477.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2477.jpg) A sun shot. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2485.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2485.jpg) Nice new clay. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2489.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2489.jpg) After the hood only ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2501.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2501.jpg) All taped up. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2503.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2503.jpg) * * * ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/simonssig.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g259/stanggang1892/simonssig.jpg)[COLOR=“Silver”] ---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ---------- Some shots under the lights. ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2499.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2499.jpg) ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2500.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2500.jpg) The spoiler was removed to make sure all areas were polished ![http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2509.jpg](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/gt08vapor/IMG_2509.jpg) ---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ---------- And now for the after.
