The CS wheels look so good(even though they are stock!) great job on a classic german car

Thanks!

Those are not stock wheels. Look similar but they are aftermarket.

Very nice!

Is the owner asian? Almost all my asian clients have shoe racks like that right next to the door into the house.

I had to lol at this. It's a rather odd question to ask lol. Please understand I'm not being an *** just thought it was funny and odd.

Regardless the car looks great! What was your LSP?

Beautiful color. Great job Thomas.

Thanks guys!

That garage is not the owner's. All 3 involved in this detail are white.

PS: I wonder why the camera didn't pick up the purple in the paint.

Hopefully the owner will take some outside shots today. Anyone who knows the color knows that it is purple.

We did some Paint thickness Measurements as there were several really deep scratches, especially on the trunk, Hood and Roof. The trunk had a chain dropped on it at the dealership which caused some pretty deep defects. Using the Paint Meter we were able to determine how much clear we could safely level without sacrificing the UV protection and the clear coat itself. Some of the defects were simply too deep but after about 2 ½ hours on the trunk most of the scratches were gone.
