You had me at Lotus! Im the MAN My dream car, one day I will have one! You did an absolute amazing job on that paint. It's crazy how they use these as track cars when they are such a beautiful car. I never thought I would like it in black either but this is one hot car! Orange and Yellow would be my choice but I love this one! Very nice!
Nice detail work, I would let you detail my black car anyday!

I am sure the owner has his reasons, but, a car like that should never be treated that way. Nice save. I hope he/she will make some effort to maintain your hard work.

You forgot to mention that the photos are actual size. lol

I love the looks of the Lotus cars, but they are just too tiny for me. The best I could do is a car that shares an engine with the Lotus Exige. ;)

That is great work with the photography! Just before and after pictures don't show much because black will reflect anything in the light that your after pictures are taken in, but the process pictures really shows how you know what you are doing and really did get rid of everything. Great work!
