    Ladies & Gents,

    This vehicle belongs to the mother of one of my friends. It was purchased new back in the days and came factory with everything you see in the pics, such as the Hamann PG2s, Dinan stage 2 software, SuperSpring exhaust, etc. It's always been garaged, but never detailed. So we both tackled it the other day but weren't able to shoot any after pictures when we finished as it started raining right as he drove it home, plus it was dark already. So he took some photos today.

    - Washed with Chemical Guys shampoo
    - Clayed with Zaino clay
    - Dried with Chemical Guys waffle weaves
    - Combination of M105, SIP and P203S on yellow and orange Uber pads on the Flex DA and PC
    - Power Lock
    - Pete's '53

    Enjoy...

    At first, I thought "those before pics aren't THAT bad. They look pretty clean" and then I scrolled down! lol Awesome job. Big difference when you know what you're looking at. Well done.
