This is truly a rare breed. We put 20 hours into this one. Just about everything was done to this one, full interior, engine detail, full exterior paint correction.

What an absolute beast Phil, it is a good thing you brought that paint back to life since it definately did not look pretty in the befores!

Nice work.
I'm guessing the client was a happy camper. It looked they'd been cleaning the thing with sandpaper.

LOL I had an 05 Cayenne Turbo and I swear the previous owner went off roading with it. That's a damn good job you guys did though.
