Vette Detail

Did this pretty little number today. Was pretty nasty before. Saw the car rolling through my neighborhood later and about **** my pants, drop dead gorgeous when rolling.

Before-








After

looks awesome! If I ever go through ARRRR-Kansas for any reason, I'll be sure to stop by for a detail. LOL.

Maybe next time my Gamecocks play the hogs in fayetteville I'll make the trip.

Looks awesome. You got some good talent there man. How much you charge to do something like that? Just wondering how much you make on the side doing that. How much time did you put in it? I assume you did the interior as well? Looks awesome.

damn straight! Spurrier's whipping the garnet and black attack into shape. Unfortunately for the hogs, they have taken a lot of losses lately. But I bet they bounce back, they always put on a good showing in the SEC West.

oh yea def. the inside too. this is my full (part-time) job. seeing as how im a full time student. this one didnt require any compounding, so i just did the interior, a polish, and a sealant. $120. took about 4-5 hours

DMAC will OWN the NFL though. Whatever team he goes to, I'll be a loyal fan of.

P.S. I heard the Cowboys were going to pick him up, I'm good with that.

What do you use for the polish and sealant? You use your porter cable on it? Nothing by hand? I need to get some of the fine swirls and scratches out of mine. We got foam pads and a buffer at home I just don't want to hurt the paint.

Crappy durability, but it's good at making the paint look deep and glossy.
