This car was in relatively good shape, considering it was about 3 months old when I got my hands on it. Some lights swirls, but mostly bug guts and pollen/dirt. Decided to do a 1-step polish on this one.

No interior before shots, as it wasn't all that dirty. Just a basic wipedown and vacuum was all that was really needed.

I think this car looks better in person. It was the 1st time I have seen one in person, and it looks better than it did in ads I have seen. The paint has a nice pearl in it, instead of a metal flake. I think the pearl has a classier look to it.

Last Shot:
I was just finishing waxing the car, when all of the sudden I heard a pop. Kinda like something hit the car. I was at the back drivers side, I look up, and see the owner with this "what the hell?" kinda look on his face. So I walk up to the front to find this:

A bird just dropped a large shit right on the hood. Thank goodness I was able to get it up right away. It was gross
I heard this was good luck, so, whatever.

Rog that looks great! The car isn't my cup of tea, but the detail looks fantastic. You should consider entering it in the monthly contest over on DB.

Sure does have a strange looking engine bay.

Thanks Karl. I think I might just do that!

wow u made that baby look good! i agree about the paint - truly beautiful. I love pearl white on luxury cars. how's the zymol? doesn't hide the pearl too much does it?

slanguage

The zymol doesnt hide the pearl. I like this wax a lot. It's even better on black!

I think I'm gonna enter the detail I did on my F250. I don't think I ever posted that one over here.

slanguage

do it! You should post it here too.
