Default Wes_R x FRS (41 pics)

Hey Scion Lifers,



I had been speaking to the owner of this FRS off and on now for a couple years regarding detailing his previous vehicles and he had always admired my work online. A couple time we were supposed to meet up but things just didn't pan out. Finally with the sun, moon, and stars, all in the right place, in came his FRS for a 2 stage polish and protection by Opti Gloss Coat.

Rubber trim being masked off to prevent burning




And on to the Befores and After. Note that this is the first stage with a compound so you might notice a little hazing in the Afters, but that will be cleaned up in the 2nd stage
