Very nice work! The stretch on the slade seems a little sketchy!

Nice jobs!
The S5 is absolutely gorgeous, looks even better in person. The interior is top notch, well laid out and the leather is very high quality.

Thomas-thanks!

dickwitham-funny thing about that Accord, it belongs to the S5's owner and it was the car he had when he and I knew each other on the Honda boards. Not sure why it is at his sister's house though.

Josh-believe me, I get my fair share of black cars! About to head out and take care of two of them this afternoon and have another one in the morning.

dsms-I agree. While the interior is really nice, the paint isn't all that good (repainted after the stretch), the section they put in creates a huge blind spot and the overall driving experience isn't very good. How do I know? Because there isn't any room at his office so I had to do the detail at one of his employee's house. I had to go pick it up at their office, put my stuff in the Escalade and drive it to the house to detail.

Never the less, great job Scott. You didn't go back to using KB for the Porsche?

Scott is a machine! Knockout with the glossy red and I too thought there was a dent in the A5. Rain must be killing your work up there

Honestly, I like using the rotary more for correction. Light holograms are easier to remove with #205 and Ultrafina with a rotary, than the haze from the KB method with a PC.

Pat-he recently picked up a white Countach, no plans so far to paint it red.

He has a black Chevy truck, his wife's X5 is sapphire black and his Supra turbo is silver.

Barry-that red isn't the original 37-year-old paint, it is clear-coated.
