Hey Springer!!

WOW!!! I am impressed! It takes a lot of knowledge to fabricate such detailed parts! Well done!

Wow, awesome work

[Scottwax]

Just incredible work Tim.

It just stuns me that detail work like you had to correct is competely acceptable to most car dealers. Evfen more stunning is that a detail shop that does crud work like that is even in business at all.

Thanks Scott!

The sad part is that the truck's owner took it back twice and had two different "detailers" work on the truck! Since doing that truck, I have seen a lot of vehicles around town lately that are severly buffer burned. Apparently, that shop has been busy!

Honestly, that shop shouldn't be in business at all.

Those swirls were horrible no doubt about it. I can't believe the dealership let the truck go out to the customer like that. Great work the truck really turned out good.

Tim, all I can say is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely, beautiful work!

Thanks guys! I have not been on the site much in order to reply to the thread.

I talked with the owner today. He is taking it in to get the molding painted. But as far as I know, the owner is staying a long ways away from that other detailing shop.

Hey Yus,

I did the 14 hours of rotary work all in a row. I did not finish until late in the evening and then returned it to the owner in the morning.

Cheers!
