Looks nice!

How did you deal with all the open venting and washing? I have heard this is an issue with these cars.

Cheers,

Sweet turnaround!!, I have worked on three and although it was fun some parts of that car are NOT fun to rotary polish. Without my three inch pads........ I would have been up s**t creek, I wish someone would make two inch pads and backing plates hmmmmm Aaron @ Edge or Rich Gloss-it that would make things so much easier.

Back to the car, I bet that was the cleanest vehicle in the show that day by far thumbs up.

Looks really good. Not a fan of the red, bu tyou really made it pop.

What's the deal with the extra exhaust tips? It just seems kind of ghetto to me.

Thanks!

I just made sure not to blast those areas with water, the little bit of water that makes it's way into the engine compartment is easily cleaned up.

Thanks AC!

The trunk was the most difficult panel on the car to correct with the rotary.

They are amazing cars.

The tips are for the electric cut outs, they used to exit under the car but there was an issue with exhaust fumes entering the cabin I think.

When thay are open that beast screams!
