Nice work everyone. You really brought that SSR back to life!

And love the new swirl girl! Great work all around.

Rawrrrr... Definitely love the new swirl girl! I've got a thing for brunettes.

Awesome results guys! It's an unforgiving color on unforgiving paint with an absolutely amazing curvy body. (and yes, I'm talking about the car and not the swirl girl) I love cars that have angles like that. It really gives the products an opportunity to blow your mind with reflections. Outstanding job guys!

Seriously. I'm always impressed with the high caliber of people that the car detailing world attracts. I met Rene because he was looking for a way to remove bird dropping etchings from his 2011 Camaro and now we've become good friends and he's turned out to be machine when it comes to detailing cars, the guy just won't settle for anything less than perfection.

Adam is as reliable as rain no matter what the task and then he finds all the little things that need to be done and does them without asking...

Kyle is as good as Rene. Kyle attended both of my classes and like me he simply has a passion for making things shiny...

Robert is solid as rock when it comes to anything detailing related. What's really cool is anytime you see Robert here keep in mind he's already been detailing cars since early in the morning, like the Eveready Bunny, he just keeps on going, and going and going,

Todd, what can I say, Todd has a stellar reputation when it comes to machine polishing.

The above are the regulars but everyone else is just as passionate, Tommy, Steve, Hector, Scott, Ron, Dave, Jeff, etc.

High caliber people = professional quality results and a lot of fun too!

The Swirl Girls tend to show up after the heavy lifting is done but in the future I'll let them know they are completely welcome to arrive for the actual buffing part.

Do note that Nicole attended with her Dad Tommy and she did learn how to machine polish and was very good at it too...

I'm confident I can get Tasha to help out with a future project, she can show Kyle, Rene, Adam and Robert how it's done....

I think you got the job but it was on some other forum...

I don't think so... just the products they showcase...

Nice article and cool vehicle. Depending on the year you could have a 6 speed and 400 HP courtesy of the LS2 Corvette motor......all while driving with the top up or down. What more could you ask for?

Nothing wrong with the ride IMHO unless you want sportscar handling and feel.

Wow! That truck turned out great. I'm a wee bit envious of HarleyGuy for having the opportunity to work with Mike on sooooo many nice auto's.

While the reflection on this door shot is awesome...

...the look in these eyes takes the cake. Absolutely love this photo of you Tasha! It just seems like a very natural shot. Best looking avatar on the forum, for sure!

Welcome to our forum Tasha. Look forward to seeing your smile from time to time.

While you're getting this modeling opportunity don't forget to cash in on some of Mike Phillips's knowledge while you're at it. Both are experiences no one can take away from you, and they will benefit you in the future.

Kachow!!!

I agree. I go retro with a 1975 Jimmy, same idea only 4x4 but yeah, convertible truck with lots of power.

Hey thanks for the plugs over on SSRFanatic.com
