This one was a "bait and switch" for a customer...

I was scheduled to do his G35 and he called and asked if it mattered what car he brought. He told me what the car was and I told him it was fine. He still wants the G35 done....maybe next weekend.

The car was very dirty and I wasn't sure what kind of condition the paint was in. The car stay outside 24/7 so I was pleasantly surprised after I got it washed that it was in pretty good shape. Minimal siwrling and very few water spots!! This was an exterior only detail as well.

Not really happy with the "after" on the tire. I think I may have too much water in the OB mix
