Very nice work Phil. Thats a great turnaround. I bet he could sell the car with a nice profit now

 

Awesome work Phil...:applause:

 

Damn Phil, looks like you indeed put quite a few hours into this one.

Top work!

 

Thanks guys

 

Superb work.Did you notice any difference in looks by going straight from PO 85RD to Lusso Oro without using the pre cleaner.

 

Thanks for posting this wonderful detail. Heck, just loading up the pictures is a lot of work.

 

Nice very nice

 

really really nice

 

Phil..very nice job!! You can't rush perfection. What do you think of your flooring? How long have you had it? What did it cost? I don't mean to hijack this link or belittle your beautiful work, I just was reading about garage floors in another post and you could respond there if you like..thanks! BTW..this photo ROCKS!!

 

Great Job:thumb: I was looking forward to seeing this when I woke up. Awesome Pics.

 

Sure thing the floor was I think $500 shipped to my door it was 13 x 25 ft and its about 4 years old and holding up, I did this instead of painting my floors it getting a bit beat up under the wheels but it still good.

Phil

 

Awesome work! Do you know how much paint you took off to achieve your results?

That ORO looks great on the black. I'm supprised it didn't get the Swissvax treatment.

I guess the owner put the money into correction rather than wax...

 

bob yes you are right no swissvax as correction was much more important...

I actually didn't use the pg on this car I just know it needed some massive correction but i would figure maybe 5-10 microns.

 

excellent!, i like this body style.. dunno if its the same in the movie badboys..but this and that are beautiful!

 

okay what you have all been waiting for the real shots:





















Let me know what you all think.

 

Great looking car and a fantastic turnaround.

 

Thanks! I really loved this turnaround and this detail.
