Detailed: Rays Dubwagon
Hey guys, detailed rays 95 vw. Car was in pretty rough shape and had tons of oxidation. Got about 95% of it off.

Car when I arrived

Name: raysdubwagon006.jpg Views: 92 Size: 100.1 KB
Name: raysdubwagon007.jpg Views: 86 Size: 48.0 KB

After a wash and paint decontamination brung it inside to inspect the paint using my halogen lights. Check out the swirls.

Hatch was really bad

Name: raysdubwagon017.jpg Views: 82 Size: 39.5 KB
Name: raysdubwagon018.jpg Views: 100 Size: 47.5 KB

More swirling

Name: raysdubwagon024.jpg Views: 77 Size: 41.5 KB

Heres a 50/50 shot. Right side is done with one pass. Really shows how oxidized the paint was. Definately brings the color back to the paint.

Name: raysdubwagon027.jpg Views: 87 Size: 28.9 KB

Another 50/50 shot. You can see the oxidation even without any kind of lighting.

Name: raysdubwagon028.jpg Views: 125 Size: 65.7 KB

The rest of these are after shots after several hours of polishing and several layers of protection and wax.

Name: raysdubwagon031.jpg Views: 94 Size: 95.6 KB
Name: raysdubwagon033.jpg Views: 118 Size: 89.3 KB

No swirls
