The swirls on this one were pretty bad. It's been washed twice at work when our department does their annual car wash (a lot of guys putting sponges and brushes on the ground, etc.

) and I believe it has been through a lot of automatic car washes. I was really happy how this one came out.

Thank you. This was $300 and took about 10 hours - I charge $30 an hour until it's done, unless the customer wants to only spend "x" amount, then we talk about what I can fit in to that time frame.

dang, my arm was dead after 3 hrs of claybarring/waxing lol. that's decent price though, would definitely consider it if my car required that kind of work.

Car really looks sharp afterwards! The before pics made it look really old and tired. The underhood shot show an amazing improvement. Nice job!
