Purple Monster

This car belongs to a friend of mine, it was repainted to a custom blend of purple last year and has not been detailed since.
Well, he contacted me via FB Chat and asked me if I can prep his car for HIN (Hot Import Nights in LA). I originally went out to his house on Wednesday afternoon, but by the time I got done washing his car, the entire LA metro area was hit with 40mph winds, so I had to stop for obvious safety reason and made an appointment with him on Friday.
Unfortunately Friday was the roll in so I had around 5 hours from beginning to finish, so please excuse some of the scratches I was not able to chase due to lack of time, thanks!

yeah, there are still more improvement to be made though....
Unfortunately he didn't want it to be perfect because it is his daily driver, and there is really no point.

BTW here is his entire car:
