Car I detailed Thursday (4/22) ^_^
Dirty Car.... When I got there, I was like man... If I owned this, It would first be in my living room 
The car that I washed was a, 2003 Lotus Esprit V8
From Yahoo! Auto section,
Here she is when I got there...
Ok... First... When I got there I was soo happy that I was getting the chance to detail a lotus... I asked the owner if could possibly get a ride.
, "If you do an amazing job, I will give you a drive" That was one of the reasons I tried so hard to clean it.... The other reason was, IT WAS SOOO DIRTY, AND ITS A LOTUS. DAMMIT, KEEP IT CLEAN 
What I had to do was Interior, Engine, Exterior. Interior wasnt that hard to do... The main problem was the sand grains that kept popping up! Engine too me literally an hour to do
. I had to bring out the all mighty tooth brush because there were so many frieken gaps, and dirt everywhere. Exterior, was the best 
The car was really dirty before, but since it was new, there wasnt too much damage, The front spoiler was cracked all over the place (car is sooooo low). Anyways, Here are the cleaned pics.
^ Being put away for the day
Me...
imp: 
Yes... I got a ride in the car. BTW, the owner had a twin turbo porsche, and an NSX. He says the lotus is 2x's faster. I really didnt care but, DAMN, I was really stuck in the seat. We hit 100 easily, He took me to a nice turny road, and then brought me back. I didnt want to leave
Anyways, The guy was really happy of the results... He will also be getting me some cars to detail... A nice Ferrari 360, Some porsches, and something else... But, I dont want to jinxx it
