So I'm really to busy to being this write up but I knew you guys would get a kick out the back story so I'll keep it short. Little old lady comes in with her red 3000gt asking me about a detail yesterday at 2pm I see the car it has oxidation and heavy buffer swirls you can see through the oxidation. Kinda weird never seens swirls through oxidation ok... So talk to her for a few about the condition of paint and how it needs correction to fix it gonna be $$$. All good up to this point she says lets do it. after writing up the paper work she says "should I come back in 30 minutes or 45" my thought huh???? I told her it would take at least till the end of the day tomorrow if were lucky. Her response "X car wash who did it for me in 35 min, Why will it take you so long" I asked how long ago this was and she said 2 weeks earlier and they only charged me a little bit less than you are. You guys get the rest. GREEDY Car wash.... Really messed up too, makes all detailers look bad because most people don't know the difference between the two.

THanks for looking!
 
3M Perfect It ftw :) Great job. I like the floor mat trick to cover the windsheild and wiper cowl. I do the same thing.
 
Great job! These cars where so advanced for their time (they are the first convertible hard-top I can remember). Great work, the body style looks great after all of these years!
 
Great save!!
Thank you
