Looking good padna! How you liking those waffle weaves on the glass...? What kind of applicator do you use on the tires?
 
Very nice! I like how you do those Before/After shots at the same angle.
 
Was the interior done by hand? If not, what machine(s) or tools. Finally, what is RL?
 
If I'm not mistaken RL = Right Look

Very nice detail bro, I like how you do your picture lay out very nice I'm trying to the before and then after but I always take to many pictures and I just want to post all of them hahahaha I'll give it a try on th evehicle I'm working on.

I like the work you do Dust, you do a nice job and I like the way you finish a vehicle...nice detail bro and thanks for sharing.
 
Well done!! Sure had a lot of bugs on it before!!
It is nice to see the owner obviously tries to keep it clean inside.

Thanks... supposedly more rain is coming!!! I can't handle anymore!!!
 
Yet more great work by you Dust. I always look forward to your posts so as the weather cooperates keep them coming. I like to measure my work by a lot of you on here since I am new to this and was just wondering how long that detail took you. I recently did about the same detail to my wife's Suburban and was wondering if I was in the same ballpark time wise.

Thanks Dust I must be getting better because the Suburban took me just a shade over 5 hours and I did XMT 360 and then DP Surface Shield sealant but I didn't have to do much of anything to the interior.

ya it's even harder to explain how it take pics like this. bacsically set the camera on the ground. try to angle it right and then snap. i don't know what it looks like until after it's taken
