There was minimal correction needed. This was mostly about clarity, gloss & CQF.

This client is a "Car Guy" and as such is very particular with every tiny little detail.
He arrived after all the prep work was done and just before the CQF was installed.
You know the type...I think you may have missed a spot. What is this over here?
I felt like saying...Dude I'm not done yet...Sit down, relax & wait until I'm finished.

In the end...
We waited over 1 hour after the 2nd CQF coat & I applied a topper coat of Reload.
He absolutely loved the final results and thought his car looked "Better than new".
About a week later he called & just had to tell me how "slick" the paint surface felt.
