Default Got it detailed....again..
1 month ago I detailed my vert. Just a polish and sealer.
Made the mistake to put a waterproof cover on it while it was still outside cause I didnt have room in the garage. It was windy those days so the car cover was lifting and moving around alot.
When I removed the cover, it was FULL of scratches
which pissed me me off.
Brought it back to get some paint correction done and top it off with ceramic. Turned out sooo much better than the first time.
Now that it's parked indoors, no more covers.
Black is a bitch but soooo beautiful when polished and topped off with ceramic giving it that glass finish.

Outdoor car covers are business development tools for painters, detailers, and car care appearance product companies. Nice work on the recovery.

Looking good. Too bad the cover put scratches on the car, but the end result was excellent.
