      Here's a good side by side comparison of the same panel with the same light source.

          One Question: Not obnoxiously but humorously... How on Earth could a guy with your skill let it get that way hehe. I have seen your work and you have talent!

              What can I say

              I work a full time job, plus run this business. I have my hands full most of the time working 16-18 hour days, and really never wanted to spend a few days buffing the van. Now that I had a bunch of down time, figure it was the time to get it done. Plus I bought it used, so most of the damage was already done before I even got in the driver seat.

              It's done now

                How's the back holding with all the work you've been doing?

                  So far so good. Honestly, I feel better when I'm up working. It's when I start sitting around that the pain really sets in. Even if I don't do anything at all, the pain is really unbearable.

                    What was the process in getting it to look that good?
