Street Dream Detail - Lotus 2 Eleven + Porsche Cayman R

[Street Dreams]

Full details and paint correction on a Lotus 2 Eleven and Porsche Cayman R

First the Lotus, due to the car having no roof of any kind a gentle ONR wash was done opposed to a full 2 bucket suds fest.

Paint condition was okay, just some wash marring and a select few areas with RIDs and fine scratches. D300, M105, Powerfinish and PO85rd were all used during the correction stage.

If you were curious the Lotus is a track only car, they are not street legal.
All decals and graphics taped off before polishing

Rear bumper took a little more abuse than the rest of the car, few extra passes required to yield full correction
