You do good work my friend, well done.
Thanks Nica, And before I forget. I havent forgout about you. I promose. Sorry to get to you so late. I know its now excuse but i just moved and eveything is in shams. I am very sorry

no back to the post.. lol... the car had some light swirls in it. I decided not to cut down the clear since they were not that bad, i am going to wait untill they get muuch worse so i dont have to grind clear twice for one job. The hd cleanse hid some light swirling, and actully in the sun (the 10 cseconeds me got) there where no swirls.
There was some minor acidnet scratching on the rear bumper which he asked me to touch up (he had the pen, and since hes a freind I said ok). It wasnt a gret job but it helped.
and i reallt appeite the comments. and again sorry for not calling yet. with the new house and needing to work another job to pay the bills.. (i know its not excuse for poor service)

Mike

Very nice work, Mike! Came out lovely! Boy was it dirty.
I love the orange color too - I considered that for my vette myself. Thanks for sharing!!
Blessings,
Lauren

I have found P21S Total Wash to be extemely valuable when cleaning cars of this degree. Use before wash and claying. Outcome looks very much like DP Max Wax on that orange metallic ...

Hey Mike,

No worries my friend, the weather here is not really helping. Don't worry about not phoning me I totally understand, eventually we'll get together and I'm hoping you'll give me some pointers.

Car turned out great, I was going to say you must have been cold when you washed the car. I noticed your garage is like mine, not insulated and when it's cold out side you feel it inside. Makes the claying part really hard on the hands.

thanks nica, and it wasnt bad, i used QEW and put some very warm water in the bucket. It was only -1 when i worked on the car so nothing unberable. The only problem i found was that the clay would not work. I had to warm it up in my hands for a few minutes just t get it to pick up stuff.. ohh well next time ill take it to the wash we use
