me and the misses-


no good interior before and after pics but lets just say the spilt coffee and wrappers made me a little sick. now its shinny and smells nice again. i tried showroom new restorer on the windshield wiper pannel and the side black plastic pieces. it takes alot to make it work but i used hyperdressing and it almost looked better(i know it wont last as long)

very nice, it was looking a bit neglected, its very nice now. still think the focus looks good today (considerin its 10 years old, came out in 1998 in england)

Very nice job on the ZX3.
The clay looks awful! Nice job removing the bonded contaminants

It was a very neglected car. The amount of stuff the clay picked up is incredible. Very good work. The car looks great. Way to go.
