Just completed detail, this car needed exstensive correction as the body shop left quite a bit of defects behind. This car would have been a great candidate for a re-wetsand of the entire vehicle, but with readings in 700 micron stage the bondo was was there in copius amounts and I did not trust the thickness of the clear(Time to get a DeFelsko 200 from Phil when funds allow...).

This was a referral from the Charger owners brother who I did a Mustang for in the old shop.

Here is the Charger after the wash/decon step..... severe holograms and wetsand pigtails throughout the entire car, my goal was to level the finish safely and bring as much clarity and gloss as possible without wet sanding.

Bodyshop who sanded and cut the car must have did it in the dark!!!! = Hackness.

Enough complaining.....it was time to make this car look nice for the client, correcting the defects.

Entire drivers door levelled, which also cleared up the shrink using Edge wool pad(Black aggressive).

Another "Issue" I had to deal with was the white mud from left over compound which required steam/and or QD and fine brushes to remove.

There's no doubt that both cars have received the very best attention in your shop. Many of the more difficult defects would stump many detailers but your skill and experience really separate the men from the boys here.. :props:

As I said both these classics are absolutely gorgeous but I have a soft spot for the 1966 Mustang GT350.....:dblthumb2:

Mr. Willis, its always great to see your fine work!!

The problem with doing such a great job is people always thank the painter! Why is it that some paint shops would try to rush a car like this? Do they have no passion? Do they hate cars?

Outstanding work, as always, Bob!

Thanks, but Mr Willis is my Dad(passed away though) I am just a regular guy like everyone else(But likes to do things "With the tightness"),although one guy in Houston(Mr Pantsareoff) calls me "BOB-O"..........
