    That car is beautiful. Nice depth to the reflection too. Those contrails up in the sky almost look like awesome holograms on the quarter panel shot.

    Very nice! I just started detailing and wanted to know when were you comfortable detailing higher end cars?

    Excellent restoration Cosmin.

    Now for this particular customer, will you be able to set him up on a "Maintenance Program" where you regularly maintain the results you've achieved? (Plus make a guaranteed income once a month)

    Also, just curious... has the owner sent you any referrals or given you another car they own to work on?

    For those that might have missed Cosmin's post last week here's the link, it can also be found on my "Articles" page under Success Stories

    55 Ferraris , 12 Porsches , 2 Bentleys + .. in 8 months!

    You cant really appreciate the curves on a 911 until your actually standing next to one. pics just don't do them justice.

    at my first ferrari i shake elbows and knees , took me 4 hours what i do now in 1 1/2 . took me 10 minutes to get the key out of the contact to don`t mess anything , was a new 2010 and had a lot of electronics. it was embarrassing.
    i usually ignore the make of the car and focus on detailing with a little more extra care.

    Thank you Mike , the owner take care of the maintenance but i introduce him to ONR and a list of products , i am sure i have his feedback to the one who recomend me.
    as we spoke i may see the car again in 6mo or a year , depends how he keep the maintenance. i explain that the heavy stuff was done , 1 step should be enough next time.
