It was a hot, sunny, cloudless day, so I was chasing my tail with water spots. I basically foamed, washed, rinsed, and dried panel by panel as best I could to reduce the water spotting (also why I stopped taking pictures!). Luckily I had a canopy that I popped up after I got the wash done so I could clay the car in the shade. The scratches were a tad too deep to be machine corrected unfortunately. The interior just needed a quick wipe down and vacuum. This was a fun car to work on and looked gorgeous after it was all cleaned up. The owner was very pleased and said will be back soon for a full correction on the car.
Not too dirty
Tire marks still on
Removed with Tar X
And the stickers were still on all the wheels
