Since I worked on a red Lotus recently, I was expecting the worst. Even though the client wasn't looking for paint correction I knew the paint was going to be a mess. And I can't really do a half a$$ job on a car like this. Maybe on a white corolla. Maybe. :thumbsupup[1]::D:D

Anyways here is what the car looked like outside at 2pm.

After a hot water wash the car was clayed, although most of the car was free from contaminent except for the very bottom of the car. You see this car is tracked. :D

Once the car was inside the garage I turned on the halogens.

The left rear fender - the whole car looked like this and more. :(

The car is going to be at the Washington DC Auto show (next weekend) so I wanted to make the paint look extra nice :thumbsupup[1]:

The choice of wax today was Max Wax.

Tires have Z16 x2

Hey that's a great turn around, especially considering it was PoliSeal alone :thumbsupup[1]:

Very impressive, good skills there!

Good work and with PS alone, I wouldn't have even started with PS. Never too old to learn! :thumbsupup[1]:

Thank you guys!

The car is at the auto show and the owners mom who is a photo buff supposedly was going to take good pictures of it Friday. We will see.
