Detailed the Aura

Post by wicked-irocz »

Long weekend, arms were tired.

Bought the car during the winter and have been improving on it since. The detail shop did a horrible job of buffing the car leaving scratches, rotary buffing marks, no wax, and a previous dealer tag.

The paint was pretty bad, water spots and all.

Very nice job dude!

It reminds me that my vehicles need a desperate wash, clay bar, wax.

What method did you use for buffing out the scratches and such? My Legacy needs this done again

I need to do this as well. My Stang has only 20k but you can see swirl marks on it and they need to come out.
