Had my car in for a paint correction detail due to swirls, holograms, ect in the finish. The previous owner didn't do a great job at maintaining the paint. My guy had the car for 3 days, 15+ hours and it came out lovely.

Nice work...
black is a pain to maintain, but it does carry reward...

Agreed, it takes a certain commitment to keep it looking pretty.

Does that car have a clear bra? How far up the hood does it go? Does it wrap around the hood opening?

Bitchin'....

You might want your guy to do some more work on the rear decklid...appears to have some orange peel that can be wetsanded/buffed to glass perfect with some effort.

Stunning example. Drive safe.

Thanks Eric, part of the paint correction was a wet sand. I did see the orange peel but maybe he didnt want go too hard in that area. Did u notice the silver hood badge, looks great on a black car.

I personally know how hard it is to keep black looking good. But it is worth it when you drive down the road with that Batman, badass, looking black TT. I'm thinkgin of tinting my windows slightly to give my car that extra presence. Good luck with your new Turbo. Nice restoration of the paint. Any pics of what she looked like before you had it detailed?
