Masking the car prior to correction
Various 50/50 shots
The rear bumper was in bad shape
50/50 shot of the rear bumper - lots of progress
Under a halogen
Under an LED
Dan buffing off polish to find a mirror shine
After Menzerna FG400 and Sonax Nano Polish we were able to achieve some nice results

Danny used the pat dry method when he dried the car... that's how soft the Obsidian paint is... it's ridiculous. now i use the pat dry method. the uber drying towel Phil sells @DD which Danny is using is the truth. i don't even use the waffle weave drying towels anymore.

i'd say about 5 or 6 months. the car was hit in the rear while it was parked, the body shop did a fab job fixing it but the same idiots polished the whole car and destroyed my paint. that's how she wound up at DD.
