It looks like this car has been chilling under a tree for quite some time, surrounded by needles and sticky sap. So, the first thing on the agenda was giving it a good clean to shake off all that mess.

And let me tell you, the change after this seemingly small effort is pretty amazing – the car now looks way better overall.

Next up on my list is giving it a paint restoration treatment to bring back some of that lost shine.
