This car IS NOT swirl free.



It was time to clean it up. Looked as bad as ever but the before pictures don`t really show the true condition of the interior.



Interior

great job on the car. It`s hard to make the tan look good. How long did it take you do the wheels? 1 hour?

I think it looks much better with the rubber mats and they actually protect the carpet also. the carpeted ones didn`t even fit. Nice transformation.

Nice job on those wheels Thomas. The pictures really show the shine. Wish that I could have been there.

Awesome Thomas, as usual, seeing the Va plates makes me a little homesick.

Thank you everyone!



The rear bumper is damaged from when the owner lived in the city.



I spent a lot of time on the wheels but I couldn`t get them clean. They really need to be refinished. You just can`r see it in the pictures.



The car is (AB)used and the floor mats get trashed every time. It was time to get these in there. Much more functional with 3 kids.



I am posting his wife`s car right now.
