I get a call from Marc Faraj at Town Motors Porsche and he tells me he did something bad.....

I asked him what can be so bad?

He said: I loaned out my 911 Turbo Cab to a buddy.

Phil, did you get a new S4 or is that a client's?

Dave

 

that's the wife's new S4 no more RS6.

 

wow, note to self never let anyone borrow my car! That car was beat up like nothing else...but after some magic from the DD it came out looking great! Nice work.

 

at least he washed it with brick outside before he gave it back.
hope he learned his lesson lol. good job guys, those kinda are pleasure to work on couse results are so good

 

lot of hard work went into that... great turn around..

 

Nice save guys!

 

looking good as usual

 

Phenomenal save. Car looks brand new again!

 

So your saying I cant borrow your P-car next weekend?

That was really bad, some great 50.50's!

 

thanks! and you are correct you can not borrow the pcar...lol

 

this is exactly why i would never let my friends use my car.

btw i see that myspace picture pose here lol

 

Great turnaround as always.

I just can't fathom how a 'friend' would return a borrowed car like that

 

Car looks great! I was expecting to see a big dent in the car. The least his friend could do would be to pay for the detail.

 

its really bad and nightmare to get the car back on such condition ...

anyway, Phil really did a great turnaround ... its happy ending for the owner, who are going to pay it then? haha...

 

Simply amazing work, Phil! It was really bad! Whoever he loaded a car to need to pay this service bill...And I'd request at least 10 coats of Crystal Rock at the end...just to top the bill...
by the way, how do you like G-techniq so far???

 

Amazing turn around Phil! No disrespect to the owner or the one that borrowed the car but what a lack of respect and appreciation for such a wonderful automobile that most will not have the opportunity to drive, let alone have in our garage. To each his own.

 

Nice 50/50 shots!
Good one phil!

 

Great turn around Phil, vehicle looks great but boy not sure if that's a true friend returning the vehicle like that...but I agree, I too was expecting a few dings/dents.

 

Great turnaround Phil...
