This was a co-workers, he had let someone borrow it and it came back w/ scratches all over. A few were to deep to pull out unfortunately.
Clayed the car, followed up w/ #83 and an orange pad from CMA. Then went over w/ a coat of #80 and followed up w/ a coat of S100
and the money shot
I also clayed and waxed a new Bentley Continental GT but my batteries died. I'm doing it again in a few weeks and will snap pics then.

I thought the color just didn't sell well.
There were definately some problems w/ the paint, there were runs all over the car. It was horrendous. Esp. around some of the big curves in the body, there would be paint drips all over.

That horrible for such a new car. At one point I was looking at buying a Z, the dealer said they could get me any color, except for that brickyard red. Since it was in such high demand.
I can't remember where I read it, but it might have been a Z forum saying that those color Z's are more prone to paint chipping and other paint issues.
either way, nice detail
