    The previous owner treated the car VERY badly and just abandoned for 6 months before selling it...:doublesho

    A rear spolier that the current owner asked to remove

    [​IMG]

    and with luck didnĀ“t damaged the paint...

    [​IMG]

    The first day was only for washing, claying and preparing the car for polishing

    [​IMG]

    After 3M FCP and finished with PO3.02.

    Wow that's incredable..I mean the paint correction was great but what you did for the interior was mind blowing, well done :worship2:

    I've never removed seats of a vehicle but I have removed center peaces and other plastic trims from the dash and so on...I'm curious how long did this take you? Must have taken at least 3 days.

    Any who, great job inside and out :thumb:
