GREAT JOB on some amazing cars. Dodo Juice is a fine line of waxes, and with proper prep work, you cannot go wrong. Congrats!

Thanks Todd.
I`ve actually meant to PM you to ask you for some good carnauba wax for black colors.
I`ve already have Pinnacle Souveran and Victoria Red. I wanted to try something new, but I was pressing for time.

What do you think of Swissvax Todd?
I`m not looking for something too expensive, but reasonable in price. Less than $300 if that. LOL!
Thanks again!

The Camaro went for $50k
That`s what Jeff was expecting around $45k, but $50k is better.
The car looked good along the block. All in all, it was an awesome experience! :biggrin:

Thanks Goose for the information on it. Are you there now?

Did the guy you did the details for create the red and black vettes him self or did he buy either at Barrett Jackson a couple of years ago? I ask because I swear up and down I worked on that red one! It looks just like the one i did all of the body work on here in an Omaha Based shop. I will try to did up the pics and post them. I had over 300 hours in wet sanding and buffing the entire car. it was incredible and just think that was waaaayyyy before i ever found this site! Imagine what it would have looked like if i had BFWD then

Most of his renovations are done in Grand Junction, Colorado.
I believe this Corvette was originally painted in New York for what I recall in a conversation I had with Jeff.

When I get a chance, I would find out more for you.
I did wet-sand some fish eyes and orange peel the first time I detailed this car back last Summer. This was just the area of the front left side fender around the emblem...

Here`s the link for the work I did last May...

Hey Goose, I heard a couple of tents collapsed yesterday. Hope your guy had already made his deals :money:

They`re all fine.
The F100 sold today for $75K and the Mustang for $69K

Tomorrow the two corvettes and the Bel-Air go on the block
Those are the higher ticket items
Also, not included in this thread is a dark purple Nomad I detailed last Summer for which I couldn`t find the pics for it.
It`s lot # 1315 and will be auctioned just in front of the Bel-Air tomorrow around 6-7pm local time

The "Saturday Nite" cars are the real high dollar ones. Usually lots 1200 - 1400 are the really premium vehicles that will bring BIG MONEY!

Enjoy your time there! (Wish I was there too!):clap:

Thanks Luster!
Actually I`m not there now. I was there last week helping out, but just couldn`t stay for the weekend.
My customer has two other cars that are likley to be destined to Barrett & Jackson. One it`s a 56 Bel-Air hard-top and the other one is a `63 Split-window Corvette with an LS9 Supercharged engine. They`ll be done this Summer.
I will definitely plan better for the next time around, so that I can get a Truth in Detailing t-shirt from Angelo! :wink:
