Funny how 4 months pass by so fast. After Nth Degree & my detail on the Ferrari 355 I`ve been out of town for a lot longer than I would like this year. Here`s a bunch of details for the Raleigh/Apex/Cary/RDU area lately.

Usual Optimum Goodness
Example of what NOT to expect at a bodyshop. Swirls highlighted here are barely touching the large amount of paint imperfections throughout the vehicle.

Great folks at Black Forest Industries had me out to do basic prep on some of their project cars that are currently in European Car Magazine`s July Issue. If anyone gets a copy, I will pay $100000 Canadian dollars for a copy. Can`t seem to find 1 simple issue and its killing me!
A5 1 step polished and sealed.
