    A longtime and good friend of mine recently acquired a new to him car, which is a 2005 Lotus. He wanted to learn how to clean it up and maintain. I offered him to teach him on a weekend where I was free. He gladly accepted my offer and we set up a day. The car only had a single owner before he bought it so it was in good condition to begin with. After a couple of hours of hard work on his part of course we took it for a drive to get a feel of the car. We took it to some back roads and surprisingly the car's power to weight ratio feels really good. Had a blast and grabbed some food to catch up and parted ways. Onto the pics....






    Started with wheels, applying Hydro afterwards

    Followed with foam, clay, iron X. For protection, applied Hydro to all surfaces

    What I learned from this detail:

    Cannot spray water around rear tail lights. The design of it will allow water to seep through and flood the trunk area.




    Thanks if you guys read the whole thread. Any comments or input are always welcomed.

    Very nice! Very cool of you to do this. Glad that a vehicle will be well kept from now on out...and the owner knows proper technique! Good on you! Car came out nice, and looks great.

    And, thanks for the tip about the tail lights/area that can flood the trunk!
