The owner of this car is in real estate and as he put it, 'you can't show up to a million dollar listing with the car in it's current state.' The owner has a busy schedule and doesn't always have time to take ownership of the wash process. Moreover, when a client calls, he's got to be at the listing with a shiny car in short order and that means stopping for a less than ideal car wash. While the car only has a few thousand miles on it, the brush car washes have inflicted quite a bit of damage on to the paint. Knowing that this trend may continue, and that the owner believe this car is meant to be driven rather than just admired, we opted for a paint correction that would enhance the finish while still leaving plenty of paint for future corrections.
