Godzilla met its match

The owner of this red godzilla contacted me to detail his car, in the pm he expressed concern about the panels that may have been repainted. We set an appointment for this morning to look at it, and alas, the entire car minus the hood has been repainted @ one point or the other (Body work ranged from decent to crappy, lol). I started at 9am with the help of a friend and finished the car @ 5:50pm. The front wheels were washed and rinsed 3 times and the rear wheels were washed and rinsed twice. The entire wash process took about 2 1/2 hours on this one. Polishing was done through Griot's 6" DA with Megs MF system (D300 + compounding MF pads). LSP used was Prima Amigo.

Now onto the pictures:

Here is the crud that came off one of the front wheel during its second rinse:

Here is the general condition of the paint after we unleashed Megs D300 compound on it:

Most satisfying part? The owner's jaw dropped, and the word "fantastic" was used in every other sentence, lol.
