This was a referral from another customer. The guy lives in the LA area but was going to be up here for the three day weekend so he scheduled with me.

The car looked pretty normal. Lots of rock chips on the hood and some water spots on the passenger side fender. Found a lot of halograms after washing but they came out pretty easily! Interior was fine.....nothing scary there!! All in all a pretty easy detail compared to what I have had the last few weeks!!

Re: Maroon Contour Sport

Very nice!

Those headlights look mint, either they've been protected religiously or they are new. Contour headlights are legendary for fading.

Love the Before and After arrangement. I wish everyone would do it this way. That paint looks great now.
