2013 Range Rover. This one was actually in pretty good shape, very minimal swirling. Interior was tough though, seems that the previous person who detailed it dressed the interior with tire gel. Just some thick, nasty, overly shiny crap. Otherwise the inside was pretty clean too.`

2013, the year of the Metallic Black`s. 2014, the year of the White paints! White paint still needs love too! Nice work guys! Love that 550! Things a boat! Never heard of Chips? Have to try it. Was down your way last week, went right by Chop House. Still haven`t been. Was on a time crunch, would have called you otherwise.

Thanks Tim! It feels weird doing a lot of white vehicles lately.`

`

Chips is pretty awesome. Burgers are great but grilled chicken sandwiches are even better. That particular one is on jalapeÃ±o cheese toast with pepper jack cheese and grilled onions and jalapeÃ±os. Chop House Burgers in Arlington (another in Mansfield now) have some really stellar burgers. Hope the lines caused by Diners, Drive-ins and Dives dies down at some point.`

Scott, looks like you have been covered up! `That`s awesome to see! `(Not that I would expect otherwise.)

`

I`m a fan of the work you put in above... nice job!

`

A few comments...

`

1.) Loved the plate on the hood, lol!

`

2.) I need a mid-night snack after looking at that sandwich. `I guess humus and pita chips will have to do...boo.

`

3.) On that 2012 Corolla, you stated- "4 full polishing passes with Meguiars M100 using a Meguiars MF cutting pad and Rupes 21 DA"

That`s pretty gonzo when taking into consideration your combo!`

`

`

4.) I would rock that NSX with the supercharger for sure. `Nice handling/ stiffening/ whatever brace on that thing too. `Probably gets driven pretty hard by the owner.
