Well thank you.
I started the car on Friday as I had the day off. The owner is pretty busy and didnt have much time over the weekend. When he did come to get it I showed him the Fuzion and let him put a coat on.

James can be nothing but well pleased...ecstatic, I'll bet!!
Also...Time to tell his Corvette Forum Buddies of the miraculous recovery
(in the hands of a Pro Detailer, that is) of his 'Baby'...(without wet sanding/re-spray, btw)
Time for me to get the "works" done to my Victory Red Corvette.
HMMM...If only I knew of someone...
:)
Bob
Re: VictoryRed's Corvette meets Mikes Detail Shop
Wow thanks for the kind words Bob. I am indeed flattered. I forgot to mention in my original post that it took me close to 25 hours over three days to put that shine on James's baby.
I really like your dedication to thoroughly viewing my post and adding the pictures together to show the differences.
Now you have inspiration to get the "works" done on your Vette
Re: VictoryRed's Corvette meets Mikes Detail Shop
Nothing better than a bright red sports car. Nice work!:props:

Bright enough to draw the wrong attention from the cops. Even sitting still. Lol
