    Jeff,
    Another amazing job by you and the gang. It looks like a totally different car in the after pictures. I am mostly impressed by the engine compartment. You are a miracle worker...............

        I am happy that they were able to sell it for more money because of your detail job. You are the Man. I hope they are going to treat you to a nice dinner for all of your hard work. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse or Capital Grille maybe. LOL. Jeff the miracle worker, that is for sure. I hope Mike comes back soon to help you since you guys are such a great team........

                    I'm surprised he still wanted to sell it after you transformed it like that!

                    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
                    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                    Remove swirls my friends.

                      Thanks mechanically it was a mess, rear door handles busted, stalled alot, no A/C....plus they had already purchased the replacement.

                        Incredible turn around there, Jeff! Amazing how the engine bay came back like that. Was the paint single stage by any chance? Several companies were still using single stage white in the early '90s and that stuff is crazy hard due to the titanium dioxide pigment used.

                        Great work all around!

                          I thought it would be single stage but turned out to be base coat/clear coat.

                          It was a medium hardness, certainly softer than the 2007+ Ford clear coats I've worked on lately!
