As the title states I have worked on the car before, it was previously owned by my buddy and former shop foreman who worked with me @ Performance Art. He traded in the car last year to a mercedes dealership to get his daughter a C-300 and the new owners tried a "Car wash" to get the detail done and the results were not what they were looking for, Kevin(Former owner) gave the new owners my name and the appointment was set.



They wanted to get the car cleaned properly as this car was also at Pixar`s annual car show and the owners wife works there and wanted it nice. The vehicle was in "Show condition" when it was traded in but had picked up clay marring and more "Helen Keller" wax application in the trim and molding.



After a thorough wash/decon /LSP strip the car was pulled into the shop to begin the corrective steps.



Front bumper marring.

As stated "Clay marring" but not horrible.......compounding was needed though.
