Just a regular guy
This car was in pretty good shape. There was some swirling and hologramming in the paint, and the love bugs did some pretty good damage to the front (some of which I couldn't get out). The owner loves his car very much and was very cool, basically telling me to get it as close to perfect as possible (we got 95 percent perfect, at least) and do everything, engine, interior, polishing, sealing, ect... I love these, don't give me a quote, just take your time and get the damn car looking right type of details. Thanks Michael for the freedom to let us do what we do best!!!
Also, let me thank my brother for making the trip from Orlando to south Florida with me for a busy weekend detailing.

Some befores of the swirls and hologramming
My poor brother (he's 6'6") squeezed into the interior to do an amazing job!
While he worked on the interior I went to work with the Hitachi, removing the defects... Here is a couple photo's taken with a slow shutter to blur the effect..
Here is a picture after finishing the rear fender with 106ff (the door hasn't been final polished yet, you can see a little hazing in it still.
Engine Before (the engine was done in the morning, before washing the exterior, but I wanted the after pictures to line up, hence the placement in this post).
