[THE Mook]

Anyone remember this car?

(It was our demo car from the Spring Auction in Auburn...long story short, the team knocked out a stellar detail including paint correction to find the guy the next morning essentially scrubbing his paint with a dirty and dry microfiber towel)

 

 

 

 

 

 

GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!? That car was back here in Auburn, and well, somehow found it's way to "What's My Car Worth?" to be aired in November!

 

 

 

We can all only wonder how much this car could have sold for in the Spring, or I believe even in the fall had it not been for that fateful morning of owner, towel, and tears of a Shine Crew.

[Guest Sarah@Adams]

RM Fall Auburn Auction is scheduled to air 11/2, 11/9 and 11/16 on "What's My Car Worth?"

[Guest Sarah@Adams]

Something tells me this has APW and Brilliant Glaze on it...just sayin...

 

 

 

Ummmm, what? Who would do that?

 

Okay, I confess... I am addicted to Adam's Americana Wax and Adam's Brilliant Glaze, a.k.a. Adam's Premium Shine Kit.

 

It's not my fault, I just wanted it to be shiny!
