Thank you for the kind words guys... I am over the moon to have had the opportunity to detail such a lovely piece of automotive history. The car was an absolute pleasure to work on!

Outstanding detail and write up. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
How long did it take you to do the research on how to detail this car?

Clearly a detail leaning towards restoration.

We spent about a week researching the Silver Ghost, tracing the car's history (to see if any lacquer coats were applied at any time), and researching products suitable for getting the best shine possible from the car. Prep work for a detail.

This is the most IMPRESSIVE detail I have seen on Autopia...this car is a piece of art...and you restored it like it should be...

Doing the research to find out car's history shows your dedication to doing the job correctly and knowing what the auto should finish out to ..looking like it is now.

you did a total restoration on a piece of art...I commend you for doing a superb job...

That is not a detail..it is a restoration...you got to work on a piece of auto history...

I am speechless...you did a grand job on a fine machine..

I have 1 picture as my background..the auto is amazing and so was your work

Al
