Dang, that looks like the typical work of your everyday car wash and their cheap rags. Great job bringing it back to life.

 

i saw the first picture and thought WTF happened, looks great now :thumb:

 

Yeah, has that car even been delivered? Good work - what the heck happened?!

 

That handy work was done at the factory and is how it was delivered to the dealer.

 

looks awesome...did they wash it with steel wool

 

My god! They must be using that same towel they washed the Enzo with.

Side note, what blackberry do you have sir? I haven't seen that home screen in a long while.

 

Man, somebody did a number on that paint! Great job on restoring it to a showroom shine:thumb:

 

Amazing save, I can't believe this is how things are coming from the factory.

 

Great job Richie! When you do dealership work for these guys, are they paying full retail or do you give them a break?

 

Very nice looking!

 

You are always knocking them out of the park man!

Wow, not that bad of swirling... but those buffer trails, wow... wtf do some people do when they buff???

 

Thats the first time for me seeing an Evora being detailed. Nasty swirls indeed. Anyhow, great work on the car. Thank you for the share.

 

Great work Richie!!

 

Holy crap those were some terrible trails. Who needs polish? just use the rotary with DRY wool pad! lol.

Great work, sir.

Is it wrong that those garage shots got me a little "excited"? lol

 

Beautiful work, are you working full time for these guys?

 

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sweet. :worship: Lotus

Nice work Richie :applause:

What's the retail on one of those?

 

I cant believe this car was delivered like this to the dealership :duh:

 

What a gorgeous car, good freakin' job.
