I got really lazy at the end and didn't take any pics under the hood or the interior but they weren't bad to begin with.

I'm going to try to document my future details better. I've been used to doing them without stopping and taking pictures in the past, so I'm trying to be more mindful of it to share with you guys.

Thanks. :D

I use the sun gun primarily to check for swirls and small scratches. It is made to be a color matching light used by body shops because it is the same color as the sun. It's nice b/c it is a fairly concentrated light good for spotting defects and it also has a rechargable battery.

They can be had new for around $400, but I stole mine on ebay for about $160 shipped.
