    This car belongs to a friend of mine, it was repainted to a custom blend of purple last year and has not been detailed since.
    Well, he contacted me via FB Chat and asked me if I can prep his car for HIN (Hot Import Nights in LA). I originally went out to his house on Wednesday afternoon, but by the time I got done washing his car, the entire LA metro area was hit with 40mph winds, so I had to stop for obvious safety reason and made an appointment with him on Friday.
    Unfortunately Friday was the roll in so I had around 5 hours from beginning to finish, so please excuse some of the scratches I was not able to chase due to lack of time, thanks!

    Thanks Karl!
    Surprisingly I had to use Megs D300 with LC CCS White pads to clean the paint up. Anything more aggressive than that combo = marring galore

    Agree. Nice work for such a short time frame.

    Just my opinion, but that thing looks dumb without a grill.
