I detailed a client's 1999 30th Anniversary Edition Firebird WS6 on 10/3/07. He bought the car at an auction (unseen), and it needed to be cleaned up quite a bit. It had been sitting in his garage, so I have seen the car from a distance, but never got up close to inspect it. After pushing it into his washbay (car is having some electrical problems, so it doesn't run), I found after inspection that this car needed some work. Overall, the paint was in decent shape, but quite a few swirls and deeper scratches on the hood. Based on the amount of orange peel and overspray I ran into, I had to suspect that the front end was, at least, partially replaced. This suspicion was further supported by the gaps in some of the seems. None the less, this was a beautiful car.
