    Did this detail a few weeks ago now. 1996 Chevy Camaro Z28.
    A friend of ours picked this car about a year prior. It lived its life as a daily driver in the Washington DC area before moving up to New England.
    Goal for the car was to get it looking as fresh as possible for a 15yr DD car. It had some rough spots for sure but after 20+ hours the outcome was better than when we expected it would be when we received the car.
    Oh and thanks for viewing!!!

    Rinsing the car was a practice in futility! The more you rinsed the more stuff came out of the cracks and crevices of the car took 1.5hrs to get the car clean enough to consider pulling it in the garage to begin the detail!

    Under the lights… Car overall was not in bad shape under all that dirt and grime… Mostly light swirling with misc RIDS…
