The owner recently purchased this car and wanted some life brought back into the paintwork along with the interior being cleaned up. Upon inspection is it was clear a lot of the car had been resprayed at some point which wasn't the best of jobs.
The paint was heavily swirled with lots of random deep scratches that I knew would require a fair amount of hours to remove as paint was rock solid so client opted to have a Minor Correction Detail carried out. This meant we would carry out a 2 stage machine polish and concentrate on just removing the swirls & light scratches and not chase out the deeper defects. Some of the deeper defects could have been safely removed whilst there was also a fair amount that wouldn't have been so it want wasnt worth compromising the level of clear coat in my opinion.
The series of 3 photos below are from the roof to show what was removed and the random deep scratches that were left behind
Before any correction work carried out...

The rear bumper had a bit of damage that I knew could be greatly improved with a bit of wet sanding.
