After shooting this LIVE detailing class on how to sand and buff, which went from 8:00am until 10:00am Saturday, June 1st, next I actually tackled the rest of the car. To my dismay, I found DA Sanding Scratches or Pigtails on EVERY body panel. It's as though the person that sanded and buffed the paint on this car had a blindfold on.


Here's just 2 pictures showing all the DA sanding scratches, I have a lot more as I photo-documented each body panel.

In my life, I've detailed a lot of cars. I would rank this in the top 5 for the Worst Paint Ever Saved category.

Just to document because I've never paid attention to any markings on flexible clear plastic windows I've buffed over the decades. This appears to read,
