Nissan 300ZX Paint Correction - Auto Salon Works

I just recently finished this car for a fellow i-clubber - Chicagozer

This JDM banana had swirls, RIDS, marrs, and wax residue.
The clear coat was rock hard and required more hours than expected to complete.
Corrected pics only show the first step and not after the second step was done.

Thanks. My guess is a carwash place and not an actual detailer

Andrew, thanks again for all your hard work!

It's great to see the car shine again. I'll bring it to the next subie meet if you guys are sick of seeing the Pikachubaru.
