AJ Auto Detail: Ford SVT Cobra

[AjNavo61490]

Heres a Ford SVT Cobra that has seen better days. Had carwash swirls, buffer trails, and lots of scuffs/contamination on the paint. Owner called me for full exterior detail to get it ready for selling. Really cool guy, took me for a spin after he came to pick it up. He got a hold of me a month ago for a quote but had to delay the detail because of newly painted areas of the car to outgas and properly cure.

Time Spent: 11 Hours

I think you did a great job on that paint, you made it look wet! But I do agree you should talk them into letting you fix they plastic, car looks awesome till you see that!
