Really great job! The owner must have freaked out when he saw the finished car.

It looked like someone sanded the paint in the before shots. Kudos!

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said it was trashed.

Question: Wouldn't the clay have gotten rid of any iron in the clear? How do you know when to use Iron X and when it isn't necessary?
