1967 VW Karmann Ghia Detail
I was called in to try to improve the finish on this car last Tuesday and I was asked to spend just 1 day on it ($$$).
It turned out to be 1 day and 2 hours in the end. 503 removed the bumpers and everything else to make my job a lot easier. I was told that it was buffed out awhile back, but that it didn't turn out as hoped or that the finish didn't last. I took many before pictures but not enough during the detail for obvious reasons. (T>I>M>E) Process: 3D grand slam 4:1 wipe down HD UNO black wool GG PC HD UNO orange pad flex 3401 HD SPEED black pad flex 3401 HD POXY black pad GG PC HD METAL POLISH 3D window cleaner 3D tire shine Paint readings were between 205 - 650 microns - had plenty to work with The paint was completely flat even though in some before pictures the car seems to have some shine :wall Before but after the wipe down how the car looked.

Looks great! Aren't these kind of rare? Or am I mistaken? I was cutting through a neighborhood I don't usually drive through and saw one rusting in someones yard, same color blue.
