I am going to be completely honest. When I saw the initial pictures my first thoughts were that the truck looked like it needed a wash and nothing more. I saw a few swirls but really didn't think it was bad.

That said. The after shots really proved me wrong. I had to go back and forth a few times just to end with a WOW!!!

+1

Truly impressive!
