Sorry guys, no exotic or high end car for you today.
The detail is of a 1993 Nissan Altima. The car is a daily driver/commuter car that was acquired not too long ago from my client. I will have to say this had to be the roughest exterior on a car I have ever worked on. You name it, it had it, swirls, dullness, deep scratches, etc. Its kind of nice to work on a car of this condition because the turnaround is usually DRAMATIC. Obviously, perfection was out of the question, but I tried my hardest to make it look its best for the time I had it. Car was dropped off on Thursday around 4:30ish in which I completed the interior in 2.5 hours. The next day I started on the exterior and worked 8.5 hours STRAIGHT (no lunch, eating, etc.) The car was far from perfect in many aspects after I was done, but the owner seemed pleased, and that is all that matters to me.
