    car was dropped off at 10:30am and was finished a little before 1PM. I took my time since the owner was not picking up until 1:30pm :angel:

    Jeez, how did you do a two-step correction in just a couple of hours? I can't even wash my car in 3 hours.

    Very nice work, what dilution ratio for the Sticky Gel?

    I'm pretty sure he only did a correction on the hit and run damage. OP correct me if I'm wrong.

    Gorgeous car, paint is in perfect shape too! Nice job.

    WOW! Just the wash takes me about 2 hours at the most! I take the wash very seriously. The perfection in the end lies in the preparation

    as for the Paint correction, I only corrected the area on the rear bumper that was "Hit & Run"

    I had to work this car pretty fast because of the sun. The owner dropped the car off later than scheduled, so i was fighting the afternoon heat and sun. Made me work very diligently lol
