Before: this car was in pretty bad condition... but i had no clue what i was in store for until after the wash...........

 

scrubbing ARO on the top



after washing and clay

 

so at this point, i am in complete astonishment of how bad of a paint job this car had!!! it looke like it barely got wetsanded and buffed after leaving the body shop!!! and i had yet to even put the light to it! honestly i was afraid of what i would see!

so i took a break and did the interior... my camera died after this pic... so i charged it while i did the rest, but forgot to take pictures after...





now... onto the halogens.....

 

 

before/ after of the trunklid. after 1 pass with menzerna Power Gloss. look at the difference in the reflection! like the title says!!!

Finished!

 

 

i finished that day at 1:15AM

i went back the next day to finish up the interior, do a FK# 425 wipe and black WOW. but i forgot my camera.

i hope you guys enjoyed seeing what a little elbow grease and some polish can do when it comes to restoring REFLECTIONS

 

That is nothing short of AWESOME. Two questions: how long did it take to do the exterior? What did the owner say when he/she saw the car?

 

I have a feeling I know who's vehicle that is. Is the owners initials B.A.? If so, after seeing what a great job you did here I might need your number for his partners' Aston Martin DB9 that needs a detail job as well.

 

thank you! the exterior alone took 2 full days (7:30am-11:00pm) and the owner was in astonishment!

 

not sure of the owner's initials. i sent you a PM regarding that.
