You are certainly taking things to a new level...
Thanks Pat!!!!

Its a synthetic sealant that products a very deep shine (compared to sealants) and is carnuaba in appearance. I have no idea about durability though.

Your threads always challenge me to be a better detailer. I am going to start Q-tipping more and next time I have my web designer update my site, I'm going to have him include a "show car" detail package into the price list section as that is something I really want to start doing.

Thanks for the great write up, I continue to learn a lot from them. I will be stepping up my detailing to another level.
Thanks Josh. Sometimes we get so carried away by the paint correction aspect of the detail (check 99 percent of the threads) that we forget what customers want (the details). Our ability to correct paint is what seperates us from the idiots with the shop rags and qtips...

Re: Tropically Detailed: Ferrari F40 (40 pics)

Amazing work as always Todd! You always impress the hell out of me. If I had to pick my favorite detailer from this site it would be you. Your write ups are very professional and very well laid out with great explainitory. You deserve the trophy for all the hours you put into these cars and how quick you work. Your customers are very lucky to have you.

Now detailing one of those is something to really brag about! Those were such an amazing car for it's time and still is an amazing car during this time. They were the animal Ferrari that loved to live on the edge.

I am very sure to see you in exotic magazines someday for sure showing off some of your work and talent.

Thanks! I completely agree about how great it looks. Low, purpose built, and VERY sexy

Haven't had the pleasure yet (nor an Enzo) but I will soon enough. Most people are lucky to ever see one of these cars, and I consider myself very lucky to get to work with them. Amazing cars, just amazing....

Thanks! I'm sure the Camry will come up awesome. As far as detailing cars similar to what I work on, why not? Do a good job and treat people fairly and the sky is the limit.
