    This 996 was in pretty good condition, not too many swirl marks or anything, being a silver car it is hard to see them anyway and i couldn't get any good half and half shots because they wouldn't show up on my iPhone camera. There was a bunch of random hairs in the carpets so i had to work up a sweat with the vacuum and a brush to get it out. somehow mud made it under the rear seat pads but that was taken care of. Claying really helped this car, clay bar was a mess afterwards. Enjoy!


    Enjoy!
