Well, sooner or later I will get the opportunity to detail some high end cars like the rest of you guys. LOL – BMW, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes,

NO – I get a 2000 Saturn station wagon!! LOL - This is owned by a really good friend here from work – it is his wife’s car. This car was really challenging with scuff marks, water spots, and swirls – See pictures of paint correction. Interior was done, but no pictures.

Look close enough in the finished pictures and you will see my black Great Dane.

Nice work! You sure got those swirls out with the SSR! Great turn around on that car. How long did it take you? It looks like you did a LOT of work.

It isn`t hard to spot that horse, I mean Great Dane, in the pictures! A handsome beast!

LOL Pockets - pay cut meaning less treats... The only thing Phantom is good for is barking at people walking by and napping, oh and slobbering on the cars as he is sniffing them.

Excellent work and a great example of what is possible with a PC, some good products, and a healthy serving of time.
