The car had an average reading of 110 microns all around the body. The hood however had some spots where it dipped below 100. Extra caution was taken when I was working with this surface.

Nice turn around mate. Reflection shot of the boot (3rd last pic) looks stunning! :xyxthumbs:
How do you find the gilmour foam gun? Interested in getting one myself. Worth it? And I envy you guys who can just bust out the hose and wash your cars. It is actually illegal here to use mains water for washing cars! :(

Top job!

[jpegs13]

Consistantly great work. Well done.

Very nice work Josh!! :props:

[jimmers]

Excellent job. It amazes me how people can spend all this money on such nice expensive cars and then not take care of them as well as they should. Thank goodness for people like you that can bring them back to "new"! :)

Thanks for all of the pics! They certainly make it much more interesting!

Thank you!

Gilmour gun is actually a lot of fun using and is worth every penny. One of these I'll actually step up to an actually foam cannon but for now it does the job well for me.

Illegal! I feel bad for you guys over there :(


Consistantly great work. Well done.

Thank you!
