Got to detail an R8

My friend and I spent this past weekend cleaning up an R8 for a friend of ours. I know some of you detail these kinds of cars all the time, but it was a first for us.

Before
As you can see, it wasn't too bad to begin with. It only had 3500 miles on it. Just had some swirls here and there, mainly from trying to remove Zymol wax he left on too long.

After washing


Peaking through the garage. Damn, those are some wide tires...


After
Kinnda hard to notice the front is clear bra-ed


The back


Either way, it was a fun experience. Might I add that DWG (Danase Wet Glaze) is awesome on red paint.

Oh, haha, the "washed" and taped pictures are the before. Didn't really take many pictures (you'd think it'd be the opposite. )
