    Your polishing techniques + the color of that car = Perfection!
    I love the red stitching in the interior. Awesome.

    The stitching is definitely a great addition to the interior. It breaks it up

    Exterior took about 28 hours. I did a little color sanding and paint touch up as well. The interior was about 4 hours

    There is no way your nice camera does that car any justice! Beautiful.

    Looks stunning, very nice afters. But it would be nice to see befores so we can see the condition of the vehicle, along with afters so that we can appreciate the work you put into it.

    Damn 28 hours? How wrecked was the paint? I've worked on a couple Aston's and the paint has been relatively soft. Amazing work either way, looks incredible!

    I will be taking more before photos. It is hard some times because I have a lot of cars to do and I just don't have the time for the before photos

    FK makes some great products. I have been using them for about 20 years. I am actually certified by them. I don't think that many people know that Floyd Meguiar started this company because he was unhappy with the direction Meguiars was going.
