I just got back 2 hours ago from finishing up the Pioneer show car. It's now on it's way to Arizona via truck to a show. It was a pleasure to do but still work. This car's paint was in pretty bad condition. There will be a full write up on it as soon as it arrives there. I was told not to post to many pictures of it until later.

I would like to thank HighEndDetail aka Ed for helping me out. Both physically and morally. His company was well appreciated and so was the Red Bull!!!

Here's a few teasers.......

Dirty.....

To clean....

Me ready to get home.......

I has been sitting inside.........for the last 4 months of it's 8 year life! It was a daily driver before this and not maintained correctly. Layer upon layer of wax was removed with a layer of filth from in between.

The first time was to treat all the interior panels and leather while they were out of the car.

Good seeing you yesterday. Glad the red bull helped.
It was funny to see Justin's reactions, with the pads getting so dirty.Each set was getting dirty. When I arrived he was on the second set of yellow pads, switching to the second side of them. You would think after 2 sets of yellow pads with xmt4 it would be clean. Then going to the white/green with xmt glaze, and seeing dirt. It was like

rather normal for a show car, I expected lots of neon colored paint and a body kit amongst other things. Glad to see a clean car and well placed improvements on a more adult level.
