My customer bought a leftover S2000 in BB with no miles (amazing deal). However the paint was another issue. Here is where we came in.

Amazing recovery!!

I'm sure you see this type of thing frequently, but I don't think I've ever seen a car with such enormous difference between the interior quality and the paint condition. It actually looks like it was cleaned with a Brillo pad.

Beautiful work guys -- you never cease to amaze!

Question: Why Lusso Oro for this car? I don't recall seeing you use that in the past, but I may be wrong.

Holy cow that thing had swirls . . .

Great Job Phil!

Thanks guys!

Lusso Oro is a fantastic wax, if you do a search we have used it on a ton of cars.

Now that looks like a "no mile" car should .

I wish you were closer. Amazing work as always. I'm about halfway through my can of Lusso Oro and love it! I just put a coat on my BMW today.
