Gumball 3000 clean up

This was not fun at all. They drove over 6k miles, luckily he had it cleaned up in Miami but still a good 2k miles back home. Full of bugs, and stickers. There were even stickers on the roof. He said he had a blast, I would love to go but detailing doesn't bring in that kind of money(stay in school kids). LOL
And yes those are long horns on the front of an Infinity.

Anyway, process
removed stickers
washed with 1Z Perls
Goo Gone to remove what was left of the stickers
Washed again with Perls
UPGP at the end

Interior didn't get pics but vacc'd
z10
1Z CP

5 hours, I'm not exagerating, this thing was bad.

Once again, pictures were with my phone, sorry.

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

Mass murder. Christ. What kind of bugs are you dealing with? I'm glad we don't have flocks of those things out here.

Great clean-up, the cell phone captures it well enough, even though we probably can't even comprehend it.

Those horns... Yeaa, naw..

Props.

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

I don't know what bugs those were but I'm sure I wont see them again since he probably wiped out the entire species. Thanks man.

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

The stickers look intentional/part of the design of the car. Why'd you remove them, or for that matter why did they put so many on and then remove them?

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

Acura, it is part of a "race" called the Gumball 3000. It is put on by a Brit named Maxamillion. Google Gumball 3000 and you will find some results pertaining to what exactly is going on with it. They do it once a year and it is nothing but BIG MONEY PLAYERS spending money and having a time of their lives. I removed them because the race is done and this guy was back home. So instead of driving around with a bunch of stickers, we took them off.

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

Such an odd car to be in the gumball... Compared to the other thread on it with the bugatti, Lambo's, Ferrari's, etc etc... Good job on the clean up. Can't even tell he took out an entire species of insect.

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

Yeah when he called I was expecting something different. LOL he said there were scions, G35's ect. This guy was going to take a Bentley but he is a big guy and said that he wanted to ride in comfort. Next year its in Europe so he said he'd buy a 612 and maybe Flying Spur over there and drive them through Europe and bring them home. MUST BE FREAKIN NICE!!!!!!

Re: Gumball 3000 clean up

Must be one of those "real texan" types judging by the horns on the grill.
