Wheels were cleaned up
After the prep this is what we found on the paint
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

the before pics is what happens when a body shop polishes your car. the back bumper was the only part of the car that they should have touched. the after shots are the results of the amazing work done by Phil, Danny and Derrick from Detailers Domain. great, down to earth and hardworking. they do everything... whatever you need it's there and you can't beat the prices.

The black just looks so incredible when its clean, any dark color does but especially black.

This looks really good!
Do you have any idea what Phil's team used for the exhaust tips? I looked thru' the list of products in the first post, and I'm guessing "Optimum Metal Polish" - or was it something else? I have tried regular car washing soap, and it doesn't seem to be able to do much to the spots on the chrome tips. I have sonax wheel cleaner, but am not sure if it will damage the coating on the exhaust tips.
