This car was in wayyyy better condition than I ever imagined possible. Pictures will show later.

Paint correction was pretty fun with this car excluding the backbreaking labor part. There were hardly any swirls at all. Most of it went away with Meguiar's M205 and DD uber green pad. Some required PO203S and green pad. Some random RDS were around too. After 2 passes of DD uber yellow and M105, I stopped chasing some of those.

Since it was sunny out, I burned my eyeballs trying to look for swirls on a SILVER car. I thought it'd be worse, but this is almost perfect as it is. Man, that previous detailer really did a good job!

First time doing an entire car with the Gloss-it backing plate too. I'd say this performs just as well as the 3M one. The 3" one really wasn't necessary in my opinion, but it was really nice to have.
