3 days to do 100 hours of work!

[Orinda Auto Detail]

Ok guys wish me luck on this! This I got a car in today that need about 70-100 hours of work and I have to have it ready by friday morning for the Orinda car show. I asked for the car for 2 weeks a month a half ago. Due to other work being done to the car I got it today.... It has sanding marks all over it, dust in the paint, places that weren't sanded it all, pig tails, and best part of all ITS HUGE! its about 95% fixable but a ton of work non the less. I'm letting my guys wash it right now and just ordered a case of redbull.. You know it really sucks when A body shop screws up a paint job so bad....
I'm gonna document as much as I can on short time so you guys can see it go down!

supplies 300$ worth of sand paper lol

You know that feeling you get when you do something and just think its a bad ideal...

Honestly I would of rather taken on a destroyed black anything lol. This was horrible there was sooooo much crap in the paint. It looked like the car had horrible acne. I working at record pace though I finished sanding it all last night at like 2am and then today so far I finished all my sanding scratch removal with SIP and rotary(Hey Todd that gallon of SIP is pretty much gone *Hint Hint*). So I just need to do a couple steps with SRC finishing with a white pad. A little jewling action with a red pad and probably SRC or PO85. And I'm thinking Fuzion pinnacle combo or mabey even BFWD/Pinnacle. Havent decided yet. I'll post the done pics tomorrow
