We at work got like 200 tickets. Crossing fingers.

I know some Megs uses a different design with horizontal fibers, but other than that I think most are pretty close. Some have sew'd edges to prevent scratches. I wash them with a bit of vinegar to keep then soft.

I am unsure of the year. It had been repainted, and I can white around some edges, either the origonal paint, or the primer. I want to say its the origonal paint. The clearcoat seems to be uneffected by the discoloration. It is smooth as the reast of the car. It seems the pattern there is...

I have a prospective job here, and this El Camino is covered in swirls. For the most part the car is not too intimadating, however the hood has this discoloration. The pattern and borders make me think of rust, though there is no elevated feel to he clear coat. My question is, what is this...

As I type, then delete, then type some more, then delete some more, I have found myself wondering how my digital introduction might differ from a physical first impression. While I can't shake all your hands, I'd like to. Anyhow, I am Nick and I have been "detailing" cars for about a year. I...
