    Very cool Merlin! Love the before/after shots. Hard to believe a brand new car's finish could get that screwed up in that short a time.

    Actually, it wasn't a "brand new" vehicle. I'm not sure how many miles were on it.
    Sadly, I've seen brand new vehicles straight from the dealership in worse shape.

    After "lots" of research, he purchased it in North Carolina, and drove it to Florida.
    He covered the entire front of the vehicle with blue painters tape for the Fl drive.

    This was a very picky client.
