    Today I cleaned up a 2008 GT3 for one of my better customers. We keep all of his vehicles pretty well maintained, but this one was pretty dirty as he had it out in the rain.

    The vehicle is currently wearing 2 coats of opti-seal, so it cleaned up pretty easy.

    Nice work! Where did you get the light you are using for the interior?

    Thank you. The light hanging from the headliner is from Snap-On. The headlight I'm wearing is from Harbor Freight.

    Thanks, it's a pretty cool garage (mancave).

    It stays pretty, I mop the floor once I'm done cleaning.

    I use a similar one from Central Lighting. They work awesome and will save you some cash over the Snap On version.
