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. :cool: , "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 :nono: :_bow:

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 :_doh: . 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.

Me... :pimp: :rofl:

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 :evil:.
