Default Gave Her a Bubble Bath Spa!

So I dropped my car off at a professional detail shop, to fix the scratches from a car wash I went to. I'm happy with the results as they got most of the scratches and the car looks and feels a whole lot better. The shop is Driven Perfection in Mass and they do other high end cars, first 4GS they have had though. These are the pics he posted on his site, I plan to go back in May to get it done again.

Looking good!

If those after market air caps are metal,might be a good idea to put some anti seize compound on the thread.
Someone I know had a set of the metal type like that in silver and a cap fused to the threads Maybe due to winter road salt.He had to buy a new TPMS.
Might be a rare thing but I use the anti seize even on the stock caps to play it safe.

BTW,the car looks great.

Looking good! I did mine myself using 3 coats of Wolf's Hard Body. I learned that even Silver can have depth from certain angles.
