I think I understand ralphee (in particular on the anodizing), it can be very disappointing when you're aiming for perfection and things don't go the way you'd like.
As for the car not being as described, it's not cool when that happens. Not just for the buyer, it can be a pain for the seller too (After all you'd like people to be happy with their purchase). I'm not going to judge anything on that front, it's not my business and the comments of both parties might be best kept out of the topic.
I hope you can both leave that behind you: It's nice to see it becoming so clean and tidy, and the Before-After difference is like those commercials of cleaning products like Cillit Bang
It is exactly that what makes restorations so rewarding!
