WOW!!! Another awesome job by you on an obviously neglected beautiful car. You're a master!! The owner should be beside himself LOL.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thank you! He asked me where his car was! LOL

[MarkD51]

Agreed, much better, looks great. Like the color too.

[PaulMys]

Awesome work again, Scott.

Love that color!!

[57Rambler]

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have nice cars.

Fortunately, there are people like you to fix them.

[Bruno Soares]

Amazing color.

[TTQ B4U]

That's a portfolio save for sure. Nice job! I bet he was amazed! Perfect example of why a professional detailer is worth the price.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks everyone!

[Pats300zx]

Outstanding work Scott !!!

[JKDesign]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[davidk72008]

Great job! That paint turned out great.

I tried using Adam's trim restorer before, and it left the trim with a tacky feel. All kinds of road debris stuck to it on the first drive afterwards. Have you ever had that happen with their trim restorer? Maybe I didn't let it cure long enough or something.

[Markymapo]

Wow what a mess that was. I cringe when I see cars in that shape. Fantastic work. How long did that job take?
