This vehicle was owned by a neighbor in Glen Cove, she needed to let it go and really needed an expert at paint correction.

Good thing we are neighbors !

As the images show, it had a terrific volume of wash swirls.
Always babied, but this is what happens when towels are reused, wash mitts are not changed out (or washing machine cleaned frequently), lots of possibilities. (such as car washes themselves)

Lots went into this one, enjoy the images from 2009 !
