Part 2 : The Shining





No its not the Stanley Kubrick movie from the 80's, but something just as great. The 3J crew (Abo, Gil, Jeff and John) all came out for this Project. But, it wasnt the typical knuckle busting, back breaking, grease monkey type of project......but rather.... The total opposite. The boys suit up and tackle a project from the other aspect of car Repair/Maintenance ..... epic car detailing.

Visitors: Danny Garcia, Fracis Gatdula, Tina Phan, Momo (Tina's cat)

Since it was due for the G35's first wash, We wanted to make it a little special. We called the to the Car God's and requested them to send me their most skilled detailing tech. Turns out that their techs was no match for 3J's own......The bow. Enjoy Part 2:The Shining.

At his request his identity will be hidden to protect his trade secrets from falling to enemy hands.

Abo is a beast
El Monte is colder than Baldwin Park
Took Gil 1 hour to wash, claybar, wax/polish the GS while the G took 8. that waste of space ruined a brand new clay bar
Awesome way to spend a Sunday
