    Kokopelli's dancing in the suns rays.....Horrendous, repainted and left for "SWIRL"

    Today's job was one of the most horrendous that I have seen in a while. You all know how for the most part we get the "Creme de la creme" when it comes to detailing. But if I have an enthusiast, regardless of vehicle type...there is no prejudice for that........I am here to take care of their vehicle needs just like any exotic.

    So upon my arrival, the first thing I observed was my friends the "Kokopelli's dancing off the suns reflection on this hacked up 03 Infinity G35 that had been repainted 3 months ago and left for "SWIRL"

    So lets compare the two and the similarities.........



    Now for his cousins.....tattooed all over this G35



















    Some headlight lens restoral that was also provided on both lenses







    After headlight lens restoral





    Some finished shots of this G35 after almost 10hrs of correction...























    You can only imagine how happy my customer was after seeing this transformation....

    Have a great day!

      David, fantastic job.

      The car condition was so bad I can imagine how happy your customer was to see G35 back in perfect shape. All swirls and holograms gone, paint left glossy, headlight oxidation removed.

      Did you use Meg's DA Microfiber Correction System ?

          Beautiful transformation - that red is just glowing now. Customer must think they have a new car, for a fraction of the price!!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
