WOW. What a difference! Out of curiosity, how much did that cost?
Also, would you recommend Wolf's Hard Body? I'm leaning toward getting that done. Thanks and fantastic job on the detail! |

Looks great! It's amazing that it can't be nice on delivery from the dealer.

wherever that car was bought from... i'd never buy anything from them. Swirls are to be expected but if my brand new car looked like that i would refuse to take it. Good job fixing it up though

thanks guys, I appreciate it, you should have seen some of the "new" cars we have done before.
take a look at this one we did last year. Ferrari 458 - 40 hours to fix this new car. |
