This is my first Click-N-Brag so you`ll have to bare with me. Hopefully I can attach all images and not totally jack that up.... Also- I`m no photographer or hobbyist so please bare with my poor photographic skills.



For a 20 year old car, this car was in great shape with only 15000 miles. She was a true garage queen! The only flaw with this car was the wheels. Harsh mid-west winters truly pitted and destroyed the inner wheel barrels. I didn`t get a photo of this, but trust me, they were destroyed and needed to be completely refinished. The drivers side was resprayed- owner didn`t know why, but this was disclosed to him before buying the car,



2 Bucket Wash with CG Citrus + Dawn to strip away previous protection

Wheels removed and cleaned with A2Z

IronX Decontamination on rims and paint

TarX on lower panels and rims

WD-40 on MF to remove existing build up caked on wax

Rewashed to remove all residue



Paint wasn`t in terrible shaped but definited had RIDS, marring, swirls, and holograms. It was apparent that the RIDS and holograms were from the polishing after respray and the inability to remove all sanding marks. The owner wanted to get the car as close to perfect as possible and I would say we were able to get it to 95%. It was truly amazing what great shape the car was in.



Megs 105/205/P085

Megs MF Cutting Pad/LC Orange/LC White



Customer brought this one to me specifically for the Opti-Guard Pro. I was more than thrilled with the end result- Opti-Guardwas applied to all plastic including the front wind splitter & window cowl protection. Of course all painted pieces including trim, wheel face and inner barrels were removed and Opti-Guard applied there as well.



On to the pictures, but before I start loading them up I have to mention that Opti-Bond Tire Gel is definitely my new favorite tire gel and if yo haven`t tried it, I recommend using it 100%! I couldn`t get any great shots of the tires dressed, but I absolutely love this product. Now, here are the pics...
