This was a new client to me and this particular vehicle is only driven a few thousand miles per year. The owner did want to see am improvement in the paint condition, but understood that with a black car, it's very difficult to maintain it at the highest level. Black isn't a color, it's a full time job. The vehicle had seen some body work and paint previously , but was in generally good condition. We elected for a dedicated polish and silica sealant to remove the majority of the defects, amp up the gloss and provide good protection.
