Wish i had taken before pics... errrrrrrrrrr....

Its an employees car at the plastics plant i design at. It was his daily driver/beater car and he wanted a touch up for selling purposes. He never washed it by hand, so it had pretty much no swirl marks.

Wash'd car

Menzerna Super Finish on Orange Pad (i have found this to be a VERY good combination for the one step details).

3" drill attachment from the 3M headlight resto kit and some Menzerna SIP took away all the paint he had on the car from hitting different things. Interior was in very rough shape, i got that cleaned up too. Now it should sell!!!!!

did the detail at the owners house (15 min from me)

After wash...

Every car looks better detailed!

My wife helps keep her car dirty enough for me to clean back up. Does that count?
