Thanks Fransisco,

I walked around the entire car show last Tuesday night an the classics and streetrods with the best looking finishes were for the most part cars that have been t Autogeek.

You coming to Detail Fest?

Most guys that attend our local Tuesday night car show(and car shows in general) are old school and dont know how to take care of their paint.Some still wash their cars with soap and water and use terry towels to dry.I was one of them until I met Mike and started attending Thursday night make overs.Now days it`s water-less wash and clean microfibers.I`m about 17 cars done in the garage for the past two years including my own.Thanks to Mike and the forum I can spot defects and how to correct them and have learned a lot of the terminology that detailers use.

That is incredible, both the car and the shine.

I agree. The car was impeccable and the shine was as good as it gets.

Sad to say, about a week after we buffed this car out someone else apparently REALLY LIKED IT and made Bill a very generous offer he couldn't refuse.

This Mustang now has a new owner.

I'll ask Bill to pass along the thread to this write-up to the new owner as I heard he has a real A.C. Cobra and a classic Shelby Mustang parked next to his new-to-him 1967 Mustang GTA Fastback.

Since all the pictures are on the first page of this thread, for those that may have found this page via Google here's what we're talking about....

Now that's some shiny paint....

See what happens when you make paint shine like we did on the "Stang".Maybe Bill needed or wants a change.I have asked my young Children not to sell my cars even though they have no interest except just for a ride.I have so many hours and blood, sweat and tears in my cars that they are a part of me.I dont know Bill`s situation in terms of his car as my cars maybe different with respect to household finances.I certainly will ask him though and he is a really good guy.
