nice work on some real beauties. a lil suggestion on the camera work, pump up the iso and make the aperture smaller. you`ll get fewer blurry pics. i think i prefer the truck and belair for my cruise night....

The cars look great, Goose. I know you`ll really enjoy Barrett-Jackson! I`ve been there many times and I`ve never seen a finer collection of cars all in one place! Have a great time!:clap:

Wow, awesome, awesome, work and write up !!!!
You do just flawless work inside, motor, and out !!!
These beautiful rides should get a great return to the owner - how can anyone ever want to sell them in the first place ???

Congratulations on being called to handle such an important part of this process - your Client obviously trusts you implicitly and we all can see why.

Thanks for the time you took during and after to share with us, your hard work!!

Great work and thanks for sharing. I have a question. Why the DoDo juice on some and the BFWD on others? Is it a situation where the BFWD is better on metallics? (i`m kinda hoping you say yes...)

Dodo juice is funny name for something that people rub all over there most prized possesions.

Thanks again, Joe D.

I have an assortment of waxes I could`ve used.
The reason why I decided to use the Dodo Juice Wax is because I wanted to add some depth on the black finish, and decided to go with the BFWD on the lighter colors to enhance the shine.
BFWD is by far my favorite sealant. It looks great on any color. I supposed I could`ve used BFWD on all the cars, I just wanted to try something different, and to my surprise, everything came up aces. I`m happy with the results...

My next car to work on from this customer, will be a 1963 Corvette (Split-window) It`s getting worked on now, and should be ready this spring/summer time frame.
It`s going to be powered by a Supercharged LS9 ZR1 Corvette engine!

I`ve edited the original post to add Eimann Fabrik Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
This is what I used to clean all the upholstery.
Thanks everyone for your kind and encouriging words.
Greatly appreciated.
Angelo, I`m just going to be there for a day or so. I won`t be there for the duration of the process.

Also, look for a 57 Chevy Nomad. Beautiful well-done car. It`s probably the nicest one that I`ve detailed going to Barrett & Jackson.
It`s a dark purple color and suede interior.
This car I detailed around June last year. I can`t find the pics, but believe the car is a gem.

Here are a couple of before B&A pics of the truck and of the interior of the Bel-Air
I took so many pics, my intend was not to show before and afters, but to showcase these beautiful cars.
That said, here are some B&A shots...
