Default I_Guess's car detailed.

I_Guess

I did I_Guess's car another TR members car today. I took the job on after he brought his car to a Clearwater detailer. The detailer didn't do a good enough job so he had brought it to me.
I ran into a few issues, one being the front bumper had what I thought "bugs" still on the paint. I then later found out it wasn't bugs it was just from the bugs sitting on the paint for such a long time beating in the sun it killed his clear coat, destroying his paint.
We also then later ran into a small problem with neglected acid rain on the windows. All an all, the car was a success. The major scratches that were on the truck were buffed out to the best ability I could do.

The products I used will be listed below for all the viewers who wanted to know what I used for a vehicle like this:
