    My client had only had this car for a few months when it was keyed. It took 6 months to get it back. The bodyshop painted over the clear bra, then tried to fix it by applying new clear bra over top of the painted over clear bra! The young lady who owns the car also takes it out on the track and races it. 17K on the car and shes on her second set of brake pads. All four of the tires have scuffed sidewalls from sliding the car!! :applause2::applause2:

    Engine cleaned with AG Powermax3 and dressed with AG Silicone Spray
    All jambs cleaned with AG Powermax 3
    Foamed with straight Powermax3 with a little CWG for foam
    Washed with PB Super Slick&Suds
    Tires, wheels and inner fenders cleaned with Powermax3. This didn't remove all the dirt around lugs etc so they were done again
    with AG Custom Wheel Cleaner
    Interior vacummed and wiped down with AG Interior Shampoo.
    Seats were pretty clean so were wiped down with Citrus Cleaner and finished with Lexol
    All glass done with AG Fast Glass
    Clayed with Blackfire Poly Clay II
    Polished with Menz Power Finish on Green CCS
    LSP was Werkstat AJT . Added two coats eShine wax to hood - just for fun!
    Tires dressed with Blue Dew tire dressing

    A little trick for jambs. Mist a work towel with QD. Not only will it help pick up any water, it'll leave the jambs shiny so they'll always looked waxed.:thumb:

    Nasty clay - considering the car just came out of the bodyshop a month ago. Each of the pics was one panel!

    Some deeper RIDS on hood. The Power Finish was cleaning up most damage at around 1000 - 1200 rpm. After kicking it up to around 1400 it got rid of everything.

    After going over the paint the with the Sun Gun AND Brinkman to make sure I didn't miss anything, I just happened to lok down the side of the car at an odd angle and this is what I saw. WTF!!!

    I cannot believe the bodyshop would make mistakes like that, unacceptable. But the results you delivered were fantastic!

    Looks great Ken! It's hard to believe the car came out of the body shop in that condition.
