Car is clean and prepped for 50/50 shot of the hood. Taped over the edge of the clear bra to prevent fraying the edges while polishing.

First one of these I`ve really looked at pics of. VERY nicely detailed.

[MrCLRider]

damn good job!! How was the hardness of the clear on that car?? Love your 50/50 shots!!

[japjoe7]

Fantastic work! How was it detailing in the sun? heat?

[autoconcierge]

Looking good!! I like the Red, a little different from the normal Silver or Black.

[Thats Fresh]

nice job! owner has a great taste in cars (=

[imported_sal329]

Beautiful car. Awesome job

[jmkiang]

Beautiful work!



I`m trying to decide on which EZ Detail brush to go with... regular or mini. Any insight?

[Irkie500]

Thoes custom rims should come standard on all R8`s it would go really well with silver or black.

[imported_rydawg]

Great job!



I love that car and love that color too.

[Eisen Hulk]

Incredible work on (IMHO) one of the best looking cars on the road!



The SN looks great. It`s hard to beat a nice nuba on non-metallic reds!

[soccer6planet]

Looks good, i love the red and black being up here in louisville (college colors)

[mburns813]

Wow, the R8, M6, and M3 all look amazing. The R8 is my favorite though.

Great work.

[Slik560]

Great job on the car and fantastic photos as well. ;)
