Thanks, I do have them framed those shots were scanned in with

my scanner, and the scanner did not do them justice.

Yes, the Northwest Corner. I'm headed to Watkins Glen (The Glen) on July 31-Aug 1 with the Porsche club. Can't wait.
 
I could think of one thing that would make your car better.....but I suppose license plates that said "Brad's Car" aren't in the plans.:(



Sweet ride.:up

Thank you eric, I really am glad I had a chance to meet up with you on such short notice. I'm glad you like the work I did on the car, enjoy!
 
Although I do all my own work Ali, I am very curious as to what a 10 hour detail job goes for. I have thought about doing other's cars, but although I have all "the" tools (PC, MF, etc) it takes me a few hours on each my own vehicles which I maintain on a regular basis. Folks have asked me about doing their vehicles for $$ but I cringe at asking for what I would consider a reasonable amount for the hours I would need.



Just curious. BTW, although you had what looked to be a beautiful canvas to start with, you managed to improve perfection. Nice job.

i wouldn't say perfection, it had a lot of hazy lines (not swirls, lines) on the doors and the hood was fairly swirled. He had been using griots BOS wax on the car. His wash mitt was also pretty bad, which contributes to swirls. I steered him in the right direction as in what to buy to prevent them. The bulk of the job was the initial polishing with DACP, that took about 5 hours to do every painted panel on the car. I worked the polish a lot to get no hazing, and guess what, no haze! woohoo! Well as long as he is happy I am happy. Thanks again Eric for allowing me to detail your car.
