1987 Porsche Carrera. I`d detailed their Saturn Vue last fall after they accidentally drove over a can of paint. Now that the weather is warming up and this non-a/c is mostly going to be driven on the rare, cool, cloudy Dallas area summer day, he wanted it cleaned up.
The car has been repainted but the owner wasn`t sure when, it had already been done prior to him purchasing it. Definitely on the hard side.

2001 Lexus IS300. Owner`s parents bought the car new, now it is his college car. Sits outside 24/7 since its been his car. He`s never had it detailed, doesn`t believe his parents ever did either. Since he is still in college, he didn`t want to go too nuts on it, so we decided that two steps on the paint would make a very noticeable improvement.
It had been a while since it had even been washed
