    Nice work! The picture of you polishing the carbon fiber in the engine compartment with the hand applicator was pretty sweet.

    Thanks Phil!
    Thanks Misha... Ya, Milan is the man!

    The stripe is a love it or hate it feature... Obviously the owner loves it which is why he dropped the extra coin ($7,500) for it!

    Thanks man!! Ya, the Scud is sick!

    Thanks for the observation last year I did not really post that much because I just couldn't keep up. Right now I am in my ramp up so things are not that hectic yet so I can devote some time to write ups.

    And yes, Beyond Black has satisfied me for a a couple years now (going on 3)... glad to see you have found a trusty friend in it as well!

    thanks Brendan

    Ken, thanks man.... You done sanding yet??? lol

    Rick... Thanks man.....

    Ferrari day.... Hmmm, I like the way that sounds

    Thanks!

    Pat, thanks man... I really value your feedback

    Thanks Rusty... That was my faithful assistant doing his handy work in the engine bay.... He really has great attention to detail

    Thanks Bryan, I was a slacker last year in regards to write ups... I took the pictures but just never got around to doing many write ups

    Thanks again

    My buddy from the great white north.......

    Thanks Richy.... As always, I appreciate your support

    Great job Jason, I would have to say you are the top Ferrari detailer on this forum for sure. No one on here can touch your work on Ferrari's on this forum.

    Thanks Dangler!
    hey Dana... Thanks Buddy...

    While it sure would be kewl to say "I'm the best" and while I am flattered by your comment, there are quiet a few detailers on this board and others that are VERY talented and I would not be able to say I am the best...

    Confident in my skills yes, but if you can get the paint flat and the dirt/compound/polish off that is the meat and potatoes there!

    Thanks Buddy! Appreciate the support as always!
