Only one worthwhile picture turned out...


 


 
2014 Porsche Boxster. Owner called Optimum directly about Opti-Coat after reading about it online. She talked to Chris Thomas, who referred her to me (thanks Chris!). Luckily, even though the dealer did do some cosmetic prep, they didn't mess it up.

Another ugly day, spit a couple times while we were there so left it inside.

2012 Audi R8. Bought it lightly used, dealer wasn't too gentle with this one...light buffer trails and spider swirls.

Downpour during the detail, trees still dripping when we finished, so this one stayed inside too...at some point, we are going back to detail his '57 Ford 500.

Not sure when I'll be back at that location, maybe towards the end of summer when he wants the Z06 detailed again, along with his Tahoe. Just the Corvette (and the red Ford GT I posted) are his cars, its basically a warehouse that several collector car owners keep cars in.
