Very nice work! Age means nothing when you're doing quality like that...one of the most highly respected detailers in the country is Dave Saunders, and he MIGHT be 20 years old now. Keep posting, can't wait to see more.:clap2:
 
Very nice work, I'm always scared working through the night because the nieghbours might complain. I usually rotary so I know it sounds noisy to me but nieghbours live just 30 feet away from me in each direction(there no spacing between our houses) so I never start the PW before 8 am and try to finish before 8 pm but I think working in the night is amazing especially outside when you can see the swirls best!



Dave is turning 20 in November, I actually thought he was older then me but was shocked to find how such a young man can be operating such a intricate business as well as pick up that kind of skill in a short period of time.



You'll probably do the same at rate your going at.

:werd: And in the meantime, tell the owner of that car it's time to kick the dog out of the garage!

Any idea what kind of dog it it?



A dead one if it was mine...



Great work David. I had absolutely ZERO buffer skills until I was 20 so you're way ahead of the curve my friend. What is it about STI's EVO's and G-35's that make people want to key them like that. I don't get it.
 
David, great job! I started doing stuff to cars and motorbikes at the same age. I'm sure I wasn't at your skill level. It all looks very nice.



You're certainly on your way :) Keep doing it if it's something you luv.
 
Great detail work (reminiscent of when I started five plus decades ago) you obviously have that rare gift...talent
 
Nice revival and the 'comic' style pics with the bubbles is a good idea.



Might I propose, in all good faith, that you take the '15 year old' part out of your future posts, so that you don't get feedback skewed by the age parameter at all?



If I have understood your goals from your original post I think you will also want this.



What machine did you use?



Keep the good work coming!
