Hi all! I`ve been a pretty busy boy lately, but managed to get some snaps of a couple cars I did and thought I`d share :). The first one is a Quattroporte that has juts been sold, but it`s last year`s model and the owner got a steal on it. The manager called me a couple of months ago because this car had been sitting in the basement at the dealership for about 6 months, so it was covered in dust and just about every other scratch-inducing thingy that you could imagine. He asked me how they should remove the dust, because they didn`t have time to wait for me to clean it... well, let`s just say it wasn`t a success. Here`s some befores:



I didn`t do such a hot job with capturing the damage, but... it was ugly especially for a "new" car.

I dabbed my finger in polish to mark the imperfections that only came out in the sun.

The interior also needed some attention...

The sales manager and one of the workers came up when I was finished and I heard Robi tell the sales manager, "Wow, did you see what Jesse did with the "bridge incident"? I don`t know what the whole story was, but last year the car was in a film that was being shot and incurred some damage that they didn`t think would come out :). Then the owner of the dealership came and when I asked him what he thought about the car he said with a big smile on his face, "It looks like a new car!" :D

This next one was just a protection detail only. The owner wanted to have it waxed and protected before he took delivery of it so I slapped on 2 coats of OptiSeal then followed it with a coat of Migliore Primo. The color of this car is wicked.

Cheers mate! I`ve not tried OE, but from what I`ve read about it they seem pretty similar in the "apply and remove" department, as well as the "look and feel". Great stuff!
