Great turn around :bigups

But where was that thing parked, in a barn? :wow:
I see your profile says you're from CA but the car looks like it's covered in road salt :huh:

Definitely a great turnaround. I wasn't really sure what the color of the paint was until you showed a picture of it cleaned up. I find it amazing how badly people will neglect new vehicles like that.
 
I'm sure their reason for leaving that much dirt on the was to protect the paint from the sun, atleast that's what I say to a customer who gives me a really dirty car.

BTW, nice work
 
From the markings on the windshield it's an auction car that rode a long way on a carrier...probably from a midwest Mopar auction in Chicago or Kansas City and saw a few sloppy highway miles.
Great detail!

You hit it on the head. I was talking to the driver today when we got another shipment in. He said it got covered going through "the pass" which is somewhere between cali and neveda. That would explain all the road salt from Neveda.
 
Nice work on the paint...I talked to Eric about the presta line will be giving that a try in the near future
 
"A little dirty" he says! I think that might be the understatement of the year so far! lol Awesome turn around. It looks smokin! :)
 
Great turnaround!

It really amazes me that someone could have a 2006 vehicle in that condition already. I think if you just drove it off the showroom floor and never touched it for a year or two, it wouldn't get messed up that bad.

It's also surprising that it went through an auction in that condition. (Before the salt bath) The auction details aren't usually great, but I've never seen any that bad.
Was the car purchased as part of a group or lot of vehicles and the buyer takes them "as is"?
I've been to a lot of dealer auctions, but never a frenchised dealer or factory auction. Most of the late model stuff that goes through the auction here is "Front Row Ready".

I honestly dont know which auction it was from. It had the little sticker saying it was "front row ready", which i thought was hard to believe. The interior wasnt really cleaned, just vacummed and a lllllot dressing. The outside well, deff needed some buffing. We also got a black 300C that was also "front row ready". It look like someone just took a wool pad to it and buffed the hell out of it, left it at that. I rather them just not do anything lol.
 
you sure that wasn't an east coast car, that's what our cars look like in 10 minutes when it snow's
