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.

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.. :werd:



Props.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!!!!!!

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