    Thanks for posting this up. It must have taken hours to do. TID! TID! TID!

    My favorite lines:

    With the trim removed and the paint fully (exposed, accessible?), I prepared to put a polisher on the paint for the first time.

    What if the primer holding the lacquer had failed? The paint could twist off?

    What if the paint was so thin that one pass would expose primer?

    What if the rotary sticks to the paint, causing the machine to spin around, throwing me through the air, out the hanger, and into on coming traffic?


    HILARIOUS!!!! :doh:

    This exact thing happened to a friend of mine. The "oncoming traffic" was a jumbo jet, BTW.

    :money::money::money: BIG MONEY WRITE-UP! :money::money::money:

    When you said "Ultra-Rare" you weren`t kidding. That`s one of the finest collections I`ve ever seen, probably one of the best in the world!

    Congrats guys, on a fantastic job and an unforgetable experience!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
    Thanks Bill!

    The only thing that could top this is if Todd can find a "Way Back" machine and go back to the Harrah`s Collection in it`s prime.:drool5:

    GREAT work... that must have ultimately satisfying: first to be chosen to work those cars, second to do such an incredible job.

    Congratulations!:notworthy::notworthy:
    Thanks Roadrunner. As a `car guy` who really has gasoline in his veins, this was an absolute honor to A) work with somebody as skilled as Ryan and work on the collection for numerous reasons.

    How much of your products and supplies did you go through?
    Thanks Nick. PAC sent up 1500 or so in supplies, pads, machines, etc, we probably consumed 200-300 worth of polishes and $5.00`s worth of Blackfire (because so little goes so far!

    Great job and thank you for taking the time to do such an extensive write up.
    Thanks Tthomp. There is one real airplane hanging from the ceiling, the rest are RC.

    In all the years I`ve been on the detailing forums this is by far the most enjoyable thread I have ever laid eyes on! I wish I had the words to convey what I`m actually feeling right now.......but AWESOME is all the comes to mind.


    Todd, you may also want to look at becoming a writer too because I really enjoyed reading this...and I`ve never been a big reader.

    I envy you two for having the opportunity to do something like this too...must have been a great experience!



    Buddy Rules! :tongue:
    Thanks Chad. Congrats on your new position with DI, and thank you very much for the compliments!

    Buddy does rule!

    In all honesty, there is nothing that I can say that hasn`t already been said. The work is spectacular, and the write up is superb! Sounds like you guys not only worked hard, but had a blast - a combination that is hard to forget!

    I know about the sub-zero temps while detailing though, and it sucks huge! Doing this kind of work in the cold is an extra test on your patience and skill.

    Once again, amazing work and thanks for putting this post together!

    I was waiting for this thread to hit the 10,000 view mark before posting...:cornut:

    This is by far the most incredible thread about detailing ever. EPIC is an understatement. You did what any & all detailers would only dream of doing. Even if anyone else tried to create anything of this magnitude it would pale in comparison to the greatness you have achieved. The truth is, you will only get better in the future and break the partitions that you`ve alrready established.

    Naw, Sinbad lives in Dowagiac, MI, which is where I thought you guys were. I crossed paths with a car collector from there while I was on the road and knew he owned that Super Mustang for a number of years. However, I see he peddled it along with quite a few others last August at Pebble Beach. I`m guessin` Mr. X is the new owner. Just took a WAG... :doh:

    Awesome thread!

    Hanger 53 is most likely in Canada, a Power Fist bucket and a few other Power Fist boxes, is the dead give away. Power Fist = Princess Auto = Canada!



    I should become a P.I. :clap:

    Todd, Rydawg, that was awesome! Been real busy so I spent about a week reading it. Made me kinda feel like I took a journey with ya.

    Todd, you have a future in writing I think. This thread was extremely entertaining. Very well put together! I laughed so many times. Great job on everything (cars too). :clap:

    Even though the weather here in Boston is cold, it`s still nothing like the great white north.
