This is actually my car and it has not had much TLC since the last time it was fully detailed around November. The car has its fair share of swirls but the weather unfortunately has been miserable these past couple of weeks. I was however lucky enough to get 1 sunny day to take some pics. My car will be entered in Hot Import Nights on sat 5/16 so wish me luck!
