Trashed Newer Expedition

[jonnyboy]

I knew there might be something nice under this mess. It only has 40,000 miles on it. I had no idea the paint would be such a pretty color underneath.....

Wow! What awesome work!! That car was trashed with a capital "T"! So what did the customer say to you when you delivered their brand new car to them? The car definitely looks brand new again.

Thank you! She was so excited that she jumped up and down and gave me a big hug. It was pretty cool.

[Dubbin1]

Great job!!! I never could understand how someone can spend that much money on a car only to trash it like that. The sad thing is that she will just turn around and do it again...

[rscpa]

Besides the outstanding job, I have an Expedition so I know the amount of work that went into a big car like that.... GREAT JOB!!!

Talk about neglected! Fantastic results man, and I'm glad to hear the D151 worked well, I am ordering some per JohnnyC's advice to get out some minor swirls on my cobalt :)

[Matt]

Nice, great turn around. Looks awesome now!

[pokey]

Incredible work. Reminds me of my wifes van which i refuse to touch!

[Rhudeboye]
