Various 50/50 shots
Rockers were marred/scratched due to the obvious.
50/50
Water spots and etching greatly reduced - Hood all done
After compound and polishing out the door, we ended up with some nice results.
We used the Fenix TK35 to spot check during and after correction.
Afters of the c pillars
