GOT PREP?
After detailing a *very* fould van on Saturday, when this showed up Sunday--I was excited!!!



The car is a 91, third owner car that has been fairly well taken care of.



The swirls were fairly severe, but I could not capture them becasue of the lack of sun. Honestly, it's hard to see any improvement in the pics, but I figured there are some Z fans here, so why not share. :)



Total time 4.5 hours, the car came to me so that saved me some set up time.

The wheels had quite a bit of brake dust and needed to cleaned behind the spokes, I cleaned them with an acid based wheel cleaner before polishing them.

Had to rely on my trustY bi-zenon light to check for swirls, they are gone.

The car looks much better! Great work. The front bumper and some elements of the interior look a little beat up (as in holes, wear & tear, and missing paint), but it is a 15 year old car after all.
 
Honestly, I don't think anyone could have got that pale yellow color to look as good as you did. :) Really excellent work on the engine and interior too.
 
Wow...I think it looks as good as my car and its a 2003.



The control module for the A/C is cool...looks like it would be really practical having it that close to the wheel.
