Hey, man - that's beautiful !!
That long scratch near the door handle -- did that all come out with buffing? really looks quite horrible, and I would have guessed that it went down to the primer...

Actually it was more of a scuff and came out pretty easy. I can't believe I did not get a direct shot of the area after. This is the best that I got:

I Zaino's my dad's ES350.
The paint, at least on his example, was really nice. Little to no orange peel, seemed like a nice thick clearcoat, etc.
Car came out great. His is the dark grey with black interior. Nice looking car.

The owner is very careless!

I felt the need to defend myself and the pre-Brian-detailing-condition my car was in, therefore I joined the forum so I could reply in the proper manner...
I was actually going to get it washed prior to handing it over to Brian but was told that would be a bit ridiculous ( kinda' like straightening up before the housekeeper comes over, what's the point??)...next time I'll know better and at least run the vacuum.
It looks great though, Brian! I've had a ton of compliments on it!! I'll be sure to pass on your name and contact info...thanks again!!
