A client of mine contacted me to see if I could do work on a friends car before he had to leave town (not from MI), of course I was ready.
This Camry was pretty beat up considering how new it is. The owner said the rear bumper has been repainted which was pretty obvious with all the orange peal that was in it.
Also the whole front bumper, and 1/3 of the hood had a clear bra installed, and whoever put it on decided not to polish the paint underneath before installing it.
The clear on this car was VERY hard, I went with 2 passes of 105/orange LC pad, followed by 205/white LC, and only was able to correct about 90% of the defects.

Here you can see the orange peal in the bumper, also some scratches
All Taped off
Scratches were DEEP
50/50
After 2 passes of 105 some defects still remained.

Thanks for looking!
