Love that car! Great work too, the documentation clearly shows how much work is involved.
I really hope Andy Pancroft doesn`t take your pics and photoshop his head on them.
Sorry, I couldn`t resist. Good job man!:

Seriously nice work , see you are using the "Craftsman" LED there...............wonder where you heard about that from..............best not so kept secret now, car is "Certified tightness" .
Wow awesome work, great save on that one. Mind me asking what you used as your final wax that you applied with your hands? Also mind if i ask which LED light you guys are using lol? I like the smaller profile of it compared to my brinkmann that i`ve been using.
Great job man.
Outstanding work on a beautiful car Anson. Well done.

Am I a ****? That photo of the "finished" wheel, the third one from the bottom on the linked thread. It is quite dirty in many areas; around the valve stem, around the rim face at the 1 o`clock, 10 o`clock, 11 o`clock position. The dirty glue from the old wheel weights is still in the barrels at 12 o`clock. The lug barrels are dirty. What was the goal of that particular detail? What does hand rubbing expensive wax into the finish and using a "hybrid steamer" accomplish if you`re handing it back with dirty wheels. Sorry for not cheerleading, just my honest opinion.

I noticed the same thing, was thinking the rims were stained or something?

Would you really think I`d post a POS work here? ... in Autopia.. ??? Of all places.. ??
Over the years, I`ve seen Barry and a few others apply wax by hand and thought that it was a bit silly and unnecessarily over the top. A few months ago, I decided to give it a try while preparing my old 356 for a show. The car had been polished with HD UNO, followed by Menzerna 85. This was topped by P21S 100%, applied with my bare hands. Maybe it was my imagination, but the car had a glow like never before, and I`ve made it ready for many shows using the same or similar products and methods.

There`s nothing wrong with the bare hand method. I was questioning using the fancy techniques and equipment at the expense of not covering the basics i.e. properly cleaning the wheels. Stains are tough and if the customer wasn`t really interested in the added expense of having you correct the wheels that`s one thing. If that is the case then I apologize for my earlier comment. Leaving them that way deliberately is an entirely different matter.
