Dust2Glory - Well to be honest most vehicle I detail I spread the detail in two days so for me two days is normal, as for the the cash...it was something close to that . I had fun detailing this vehicle. I got to use some of my toys that I've been itching to use . You know getting vehicles like these is fun becuase you know the results are going to be drastic

joe.p - Yup, never been detailed. I'm not sure how long he has had this vehicle but it wasent new to him so not sure how he received the vehicle. Owner was happy to see the results though.

Tonya and 02CAMSS - Thank you for the compliments, means a lot to me.

Nica, you do amazing work, and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he really shouldnt be so picky about who touches his truck..

I mean... Even the swirl-o-matic or local hacks washing it once a year would have been a HUGE improvement over what it was.. I guess I'm not hungry enough, but I wouldn't even consider touching that vehicle unless it was by the hour. And I don't mind dirty work..

But once again.. Your work and attention to detail continues to amaze me.

Great turn around Carlos. That truck was definitely neglected.

DantheMan - Thank you for the compliment buddy, greatly appreciated. As for the job, well I like testing my self, the worse the condition of the vehicle the better I test my self and while I'm at it I learn lots from trying things out. For example, on this vehicle I didn't want to go too agresive with the polishing as I was basically polishing the paint. So on spots that required two pases or perhaps that little extra I started "shaking" my Metabo on the particular spot that I felt required it...when I say "shaking" I mean moving it back and forth a few times...kinda like shaking chocolate milk with both hands and then went over the same area with a nice smooth action and not only did it remove what I wanted it to remove but it left that particular spot flawless (well close to perfect). It was interesting, I found this "shaking" technique interesting, so I did it through out the entire vehicle and sure enough one pass per panel with a few "shakes" and finished LSP so another little trick I picked up...well maybe others know this "shaking" but I just discovered it hahahaha.

Yea, I hear you Dust. I don't mind the size, it's the fact that they don't fit in regular garages that bugs me...seriously though I don't know how you detail out exposed to the element (heat/wind...ect..ect..) I don't know if I could do it bro...so hats off to you and others who detail out in the elemets. Oh and looking forward to the post of that truck bro, you do some wicked work
