A long time client of mine referred me to his friend who was looking to get his wife's Boxter looking good again. This was not to be a full correction, but we got it safely above the 90% mark. Drew (AWDTBSS) was out again to help me on this one.

Upon arrival

The main 'offending issue' that brought me out here. Someone had made a mistake here and it won't happen again............
More pics of this later.

Wheels were not too bad, but needed a good cleaning and tires stripped of the grease applied elsewhere..

Returning to the main issue.....now under the halogens and after old wax has been stripped, revealing the true extent of the damage...

This would take some careful work, so precautions were taken with measuring the paint to ensure enough material was present to safely remove these scratches. Thankfully there was plenty of material.

Thanks for checking it out!
 
Looks great! Any word on who used steel wool on the hood and why? Hope it was an uninformed owner and not some Splash-n-Dash detailer.
