Not sure what you are talking about with the metal bail and brush though.

There is a Metal holder that keeps the bristles in the brush. I am talking about the swissvax style brush. I wrap electrical tape around those to keep them from scratching the surface you are cleaning. Expecially important if you are going into spokes so the side does not rub metal to metal. I also run the tape a wrap or two into the bristles to stiffen them up a bit.

Excellent job in the car. The owner must have been floored.

Have a nice weekend-It is snowing like crazy here this morning. my 10 minute drive to work too over an hour a 5:30AM :banghead:

Is this from Barry or Jeff?

Thanks Angelo, but Dave is still the man in Jersey!!! He has been great though with answering a lot of questions that I have.

Thank you for the compliment!! I gotta tell you. Those wheels are a beast to work on.

Incredible work Barry! I can imagine that grill is not fun to work on in any way, shape or form. Keep it up.

Thanks Kody,
No that grill was very time consuming. Polishing each one of those honeycombs by hand was not fun, but it sure was worth the effort.

Wow Barry! That is the best one Ive seen from you to date! Great Job! Save all these pictures and maybe print them out to show potential clients to show what great work you do.

Thanks Jon.
This kind of car brought out the best in me. I have never spent so much time on the small details before.

Thanks Chad.
The paint is beautiful on this car. It seems like the paint is very thick, but not to hard to work with.

That`s what I`m talking about! Nice score Barry!

**RSWIM21** · 01-22-2011, 09:06 AM

Great work! Thank you for a well told story.

**imported_Auto Concierge** · 01-22-2011, 10:02 AM

Looks fantastic!!, but did you really use Opt metal polish on the wheels?? because the center is powdercoated/cleared and the lip machined/cleared the wheels look nice so it does not look damaged in the pics so I think you just misslabeled what you used maybe.

Again nice work.
