It never ceases to amaze me when a talented detailer restores an obviously neglected car to better than showroom condition. It's incredible.

Props to you and your work. I bet the owner was blown away. Thanks for step by stepping your way through it, and I appreciate the before and afters. I picked up a few tips along the way and I consider myself a fairly meticulous detailer..

Great work, and a good looking car.
