That's why you don't send your wash monkey out with a terry cloth towel every week to wash the expensive car.



oh and: good work. The guy next to me at work says "wow."

Un. Be. Lievable. Dude, that was absolutely insane!! First off, I've not seen such bad paint on a car, but then I've also not seen such perfect paint like you got it afterwards! On the picture of the mirror, I have a hard time telling whether it's black or chrome. I seriously had to scroll to another couple of pullback shots to make sure they really were black. I still don't fully believe that shot is real, it's so incredibly shiny it looks chrome!!

Incredible job man, keep up the great work, and keep posting the writeups here!!
