Re: X-treme Makeover - from a "RoAD waRRioR" to a "Street Dream"

Hello friends!

sunny greetings from Mauritius

Welcome to another extreme makeover, a friend of mine, Kavin's Toyota Glanza. He had it re-sprayed and was told to wait for a couple of months before detailing. It came here as a work-in-progress, "wet-sanded without a sanding block" by Kavin himself. A few months back I introduced him to detailing including wet-sanding
