A buddy of mine who works for our city police department was leaving a parking lot when a guy went around his unmarked car, clipped the rear bumper and decided to run. He didn't realize that he had hit a cop, so imagine the horrified look on his face when those cherries popped on in his rearview mirror.



He told me that he had to turn the car in for repair, and that they were going to give him a pool car until his was fixed. Being a former cop myself, I know what condition most pool cars are in and they are usually on their last leg. He didn't want to give up his unmarked car for that, so he asked me if I could look at his and see if I could repair it. Here what he had going on:




Now notice how dull and lifeless his paint looks. The car was somewhat dirty but that paint was like sitting at church listening to a preacher who likes the sound of his voice and has no concept of time. Painful. So I broke out my polisher, some 3M compound and polish and went to work, while he watched. This was the end result.




And this last picture is the one that will really let you know if all the damage is gone. When you shoot the flash off into the paint, that will reveal every swirl mark that is hiding in your paint. As you can see, swirl marks can't hide from The Junkman. I don't fake the funk. The only thing you see in this picture is the pearl that is mixed into the paint, which makes the car's color change depending on what angle the sun is hitting it.




He asked me if I could do the rest of the car so that the whole thing looked good. I told him that they didn't pay him enough to afford me to do that.

Junkman, shining out.

Well that's odd, let me see what I can do about that.

[Junkman2008]

Okay, NOW you should see some pictures. Turns out that there is a dimension limit on the size of the pictures. Me being an I.T. guy, should have caught that.

Will return after v3 of picture uploads occurs. V2 appears to still not have it.

This is crazy. I've been posting on forums for over 20-years. I have never had a problem posting pictures before and I'm using the Bimmer hosting service.

I will just use links until I figure out what is going on with the image tags.

Links don't work either. I'm on desktop.

Let me try another browser. I may be looking at cashed information.

Mesmerizing…

I hope you get the photos posted, because I’m really curious. I know it can be pretty amazing what can be buffed out.

[Rich76]

Are the photos undercover aswell?

[Junkman2008]

LOL! No, I'm working with an admin to figure out why they won't show. I've been posting on forums for 15-years and use to be an admin on one so posting pictures is something I definitely know how to do.

[Katsunaka]

Youll get it figured out. I just download photos then resize em then upload them through the attachment thing and use it that way.
