The owner of this car is a driving enthusiast. It's very fuel efficient, but it's also a blast to drive. It's been to the track and in general, he has not been diligent about his cleaning regimen. Moreover, the dealership that it was purchased from did a serious disservice to the vehicle by detailing it. Polish or wax residue everywhere, vinyl pinstriping was burned off and holograms. This called for some serious deep cleaning before even considering picking up a polisher. This vehicle is a testament to why an owner should decline any pre-delivery service by the dealership and go straight to a professional.
