Thanks for the nice comments Fred114, detaildave, sullysdetailing , cnfower & Pat.

Excellent Full Detail!!! Now how long did this take you from start to finish?

I worked on the car off and on for about 3 weeks. I had the car up on jack stands for almost 2 weeks. I wanted to let the paint cure on the rotors before I put it back together. I didn't keep track of my hours but if I had to guess it might I been close to 40.

I forgot to mention that I also took the battery out and repainted the piece of steel that the battery sits on. To remove the battery you have to remove part of the back wheel well on the driver's side. The OEM battery was not a maintenace free type and it looked like some battery acid had leaked out and damaged the paint. I noticed it when I replaced the battery a while back. It's hard to believe that they would put in such a cheap battery on a $90,000 car.

What is your method of application for the 303 on the weather stripping?
The application instructions are spray on/wipe dry. It's kind of hard to spray onto weather stripping and such without splattering everywhere...

"such a cheap battery on a $90,000 car."ROTFLMAO!!! Gary if I told you & wished I was paid $1.00 for everytime that I've jumped off a "mortgage on wheels" with my old FORD pickup truck (well atleast it's an "L" with some power adders & MOD'S / I've spent too much $$$ on but, she'll give most anything a good run for the money) I'd be a RICH Man!!! Gary, PARDON my DROOL from your pic's!!! My dear FULL DETAIL BROTHER, I must apologise for the UNDERSTATEMENT of "EXCELLENT FULL DETAIL" and must admit that I'm just not mentally equipped nor qualified to possess a word or phrase that would describe or do that JOB / WORK OF ART any justice at all. I BEG your forgiveness & stand before you as a HUMBLE man!!! Ok so on my next visit to S. Fla. (got some rich Friends in BOCA...Lucky me) I'd love to meet & shake the hand of such work!!! Sorry for the rant...guess I let too much time expire between my dosages of med's.Im the MAN

Again, the perfectionist at work.

That is some nice work, follow this since the phase I and was just amazed of how much detail put into each of the body panel. Need to find a ginny pig for me to practice some more.

Car looks absolutely amazing :xyxthumbs:

 

[Emile]

Nice job, Gary. That wax looks like it gave the color really nice depth and shine.

 

[Slava]

Great work.
Car looks brand new.

I always spray 303 on a microfiber then wipe down my weather stripping.
