Here is the completed job by "Bob'n Bing Inc. The teasers were posted earlier but here is the fruit of our labor(by three former GI guys) we had 96 hours plus into the car as every surface from paint to trim and all of the suspension had fifteen years of built up crud.Special thanks to Richie and Mark Zamzow for helping me thru this last two weeks of a busy schedule.



Here is the car in the beginning.

The front bumper had been re-painted the week previous but needed finishing as it had sand scratches and holos.

Customer requested we not wash the car conventionally, so out came my "Low pressure washer" which sprays a fine mist as opposed to getting the car really wet.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!! :shocked



That is one intense detail....



You guys really outdid yourself on this one!



I can't even imagine how excited the owner must have been.



Insane work guys!!! :2thumbs:
 
If there's someone that gets better sun shots time after time than Auto Concierge, I surely don't know about them.

That poor NXS was beyond hammered. Softest paint in the game + years and years of bad washing left it looks tired, worn, and aged. More than detailing, you guys look like cosmetic surgeons with the perfect turn around. More great work and I hope to see the red Murci :)
 
i'm also a little curious about why the owner was hesitant for the car to be conventionally washed? he afraid y'all were gonna scratch it or something?

Holy cow! how do you get any work done with that quantum singularity just sitting in your garage??? :har:



Actually, the car went back to 1995 and then I brought it back as new............................................like the movie "Event Horizon" (lol).
