Mike the car looks amazing now and the pictures Yancy took really allow us to see the full beauty.
I enjoyed watching you and the team make this all happen last night
I always look forward to the Thurday night sessions and only wish I lived a bit closer to partake myself.

Thanks Buddy, my favorite part of my job is showing new people how to machine polish.

Both Adam and Bryan had never used a polisher to buff paint in their life and they both did an excellent job after just a few minutes of hands-on training.

I always look forward to the Thursday night sessions and only wish I lived a bit closer to partake myself.

Hopefully they're getting better. I've learned a few things after doing a few now, one thing is to go through the process a little slower, the other is to spend more time explaining to the audience the what and why.


Thanks Buddy...

Be sure to tune in to the next two Thursday nights, next week is a limited edition Scion and the week after is a new Fiat 500

Mike, much thanks for the training an the detailing. I never would have taken a machine to that car, without your instruction. The before/after is more incredible in person, the photos don't do it justice! Again, thank you
I almost understand what the guys on overhauling feel like....

I've been detailed !!!!!!!!!

The paint really did come out looking great. The owner and his wife are like most people with cool cars I meet, that is the own a cool car and to the casual observer the car/paint looks great.

But to the trained eye and to a person that knows about all the current technology available there's a lot of room for improvement...


This was my favorite shot as Ivan is hiding in the chrome headlight trim...







Kind of like you see him hiding in the rear portion of the fender here,
