2013 Nissan Altima. Probably the last time I`ll do anything for this customer. I`ve been taking car of his cars more than 8 years now, but he and his wife have decided to move back to Michigan (they want to be close to their kids and grandchild) so hopefully he calls Dave Fermani as I suggested so his cars will still be well cared for. He has a 2013 Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible but obviously that won`t work out well during Michigan winters, so while his wife still works for Nissan, he decided to use her discount to buy a fully loaded (including the VQ35 V6 engine) Nissan Altima. In many ways, its nicer than the 2012 Maxima his wife has as a company car. The CVT works better too, stronger right off the line. Anyway, he is leaving in a couple of weeks so he had us come out and get the Corvette washed (transport company is picking it up next week I believe) and some protection on the Altima.
The car was in surprisingly good shape, he told the dealer not to detail it. Just some light marring and light scratches here and there. The paint color is a bit odd though, the name of it is graphite blue but it really doesn`t look blue, and the flake looks greenish. The only time it actually looked blue to me was when I was backing up to leave and I was looking at it through my window tint and polarized sun glasses!

----------------------
2007 BMW 328. I used to detail the owners burgundy 993 Carrera but he ended up selling the car, air cooled engines really don`t like Dallas traffic when its 105 degrees. This BMW is what he called a "two year car". Its basically something to tide him over a couple years until he gets what he really wants. So, it isn`t a car he`s in love with or is going to spend a ton of money on. He just wanted it cleaned up, shiny and protected. The Carfax was clean but it appears to have spend some time in a body shop, all the glass had overspray on it-clear coat overspray. I didn`t find any evidence the car had any repainting done, could have been in for a touch-up of some sort and got overspray on it that way. The hood has some water spotting in the concave sections on the sides of the hood, seems to be pretty common, see that a lot on E92s.
ONR Wash, Opti-Clay (managed to get hold of another bar!) on all the paint and glass

Optimum Protectant Plus to dress leather and vinyl
Sorry the car isn`t all the way into the sun, the owner was out when I finished, he came back and had someone in the car waiting on him so when he backed it up so I could go over the wheels again, I wasn`t picky about where it ended up.
