Default Detailer's Domain: this is why I don't let people borrow my stuff

Look what happens when you loan out your 911 Turbo Cab (X50)

I get a call from Marc Faraj at Town Motors Porsche and he tells me he did something bad.....

I asked him what can be so bad?

He said: I loaned out my 911 Turbo Cab to a buddy.
I said: How bad he says you'll see......

When I received the car it was early morning the sun wasn't out yet, the next day when I was able to pull it out I couldn't believe my eyes! The car was shot!

What was done -

- Paint inspected and measured
- Wheels protected with Swissvax Autobahn
- Tires dressed with einszett Vinyl Rubber Care
- 2 Step Paint correction (Meguiars M105 with an Uber Yellow, and Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue)
