Great feature! Pithy, but complete, and seeing it shot in HD really let the final results show up on screen.

I drive a full convertible year around so I get a little sun, try to work out in the ocean on weekends as I'm a distance swimmer. It's a great workout as I use hand paddles to really work out the arms and shoulders.

All the before and afters were the real deal. After shooting these features all the staff and camera guys would come over and look at the before and after differences, they were amazed.

Same thing when we did the oxidized Chevy truck in this video,

As far as the time goes, these are actually fairly long features, most are only 2-3 minutes long and trying to go through all the steps thoroughly, without making any mistakes is really tight.

If you watch again one area that is usually cut down to save time is the machine buffing process. The paint on the GTO was really hard and and I had to make a few more passes than what made it through editing to remove all the swirls.

One thing for sure, Dennis is incredibly nice, professional and fun to work with as is his entire staff.
