I was at a car show this past weekend and didn't notice what was on my rental car until I got there. Check this out:

The Specimen...

As for the car in question, here's the deal. Someone had scratched this car from the front fender all the way to the back of the rear door. The scratch was relatively deep. To make matters worse, they use blobs of touch-up paint to attempt to fix the scratch. After seeing how much worse the touch-up paint looked, they attempted to wipe the touch up paint off the car, That did nothing but smear the paint everywhere. The final dagger was when they parked the car with the paint still wet in what appeared to be a sand storm. Here's what the car looked like after I finally noticed it (I didn't notice this when I picked up the car because it was overcast).

Okay, let's get this party started!

These action shots are courtesy of John at The Shutter Group. They do event photography. Notice my buffing face!

... and now for the finished product!

She's back to her original beauty.
