After driving 200 miles to customers house and almost 5 hours later it never left much time to take pictures.
Customer has paid for a full photo-shoot for next spring when it will also be back for some paint correction.

Awesome, where abouts you from? What does something like this cost out of interest? I have a clay bar etc but can never find the time tbh.
