    This car had been repainted about 6 months ago, and the bodyshop did a horrible job finishing the paint. in addition the car had sat outside without being moved for two months so it got a fair share of abuse and contamination.

    The owner told me to give it all i had and make it as perfect as possible so thats just exactly what i did!

    the car took almost two weeks for me to finish. (i was working on it during finals so i couldnt work every day)

    the clay bar was extremely dirty after this car


    [​IMG]


    you can see how the previous detailer didnt tape up any edges and left polish/wax residue all over the place

    all taped up and ready to go

    Very nice!

    I don't know how people get such bad hologram and buffer trails??

    I never get any close to that bad... even when using heavy cutting stuff....

    Amazing work as usual, truly sick job!

    Question. I see you have your whole setup in the parking garage of your building, how does that work for you exactly? Haul your stuff down when you have a detail or what?
