2006 Lotus Elise Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing

The owner of this Lotus Elise had his car in for service when he noticed me working on a DBS. He told the service manager he wanted the same service performed on his car.

The appointment was set and here are the results.

It was 30 degrees when I got started so there are no wash pics.

Before.







Roof panel before.





After.

Stripes not corrected yet.



Drivers door before.



Corrected.



More before shots.

















Passenger window had some water spot etching.

50/50





Corrected.



Left stripe corrected.

Really nice work. That rear wing had to be a bugger to deal with. Looks like someone left you some nice wax residue around the mounts.

How was the Lotus paint to deal with; compared to Porsche or BMW?

Thanks. There's silicone around the mounts. That's probably what is holding it on as it did not feel like it was mounted securely.

The Lotus paint is nice to work with, not nearly as difficult as the BMW and Porsche clear.
