    It's about time that I do the write up for this as I detailed this back during Christmas.

    Purchased in January 2012 and with over 9150 miles, it is in need of some TLC to be ready to shine for 2013.
    Many hours were put in to bring back the glory for my client to enjoy again like brand new.

    The initial inspection of the paint. Marrs, scuffs, swirls, and RIDS sums it up.

    Well done. That was pretty marred up for 1 yr old car. Was there any concern about the clear thickness? Ive never measured a Scion before. I assume the clear was pretty soft like a Toyota.

    Thanks guys.

    No concerns on the thickness when I measured it. It is not as thin as you think when you compare it to others. ;)
    Yes it is soft like the Subarus and some Toyotas.

    Nice save. Having a basic understanding of how to wash a car, I'm at a loss to figure out how people do that kind of damage. I mean, how do you mar your paint up like that, short of washing your car with a garden rake!

    Nice save . It amazes me that people can mar up a new car that badly.
