Proton Waja CPS - Tranquility Black with popping flakes.

The owner has just bought the car less then 5 months ago and odometer is less then 5000km. Plus the owner is a very nice person and would not mind I spend extra time on his ride (has another spare car to commute).

Total time spent on the car was around 30hours spanning over 3days.

Owner mentioned the car has never been polished; only waxed by dodgy car wash centers.

(during work, the images in my camera were again corrupted therefore most of the pictures were gone; might be buying the 550D)
