    In preparation for SoCal Euro on Sept. 14th here in San Diego this particular enthusiast wanted his vehicle to look the best for the show. In addition he is Co-Owner at Up and Beyond Aerial Photography (Check them out for some sweet shots!) so I thought it would be cool to do some sun shots from 1,000 feet in the air to put CQuartz to the true test! :applause2:

    The main areas of focus being the removal of light swirls, marring and imperfections throughout the vehicle, as well as cleaning up the interior and reconditioning the dry leather. So we agreed that a full paint correction was in order, and to protect the vehicle the one and only CQuartz was used.

    Vehicle was dropped off in the following condition.

    Vehicle was then foamed, Iron-X'd, Clay barred and dried.

    The entire vehicle was then given two IPA wipe downs and CQuartz was then applied in two separate coats.

    Car was then given a final wipe down then pulled outside to see how she looks.
