Thanks so much for all the kudos!
WOW, I'm truely impressed. I thought it was a guy detailing until I saw the reflection pic. There are not many lady or if any at all that detail cars like you. Sometimes it feels like a sausage fest in these forums. Excellent work.

Thank you!
I did a write-up like this on a black BMW I did about a year ago and got some of the same comments. My neighbors think I'm completely insane. It's just something I enjoy doing. Some people like gardening; I like detailing. This forum makes it especially rewarding becuase I also enjoy sharing my experience with other interested people.
I think Laura needs to create a business card to hand out and then pick only the cars she likes to work her magic on.
I somewhat do that already, but instead of picking the cars I like, I pick the people I like

Nice work .... that roof shoot looks to have evidence of a re paint (those two or three little dimples)
I agree. I know it had been wrecked before, but I don't know how extensive the damage was. The front end isn't completely straight; it all fits together, but the hood, fender, & headlight alignment is different on the drivers side than on the passenger side.
It's funny you mention that, though. It's amazing how well you "learn a vehicle" while doing something like this.
great work...
on a side note...when you say you hit a deer...do you mean a actual deer or is a deer some slang for a car/pole or something...
“At least no one was hurt.” tell the deer that ;
poor deer, if your car got damaged so bad, imagine how the deer felt >.>
lastly, is it common for deers to be hit in Alabama?
oh yeah, great work on the truck, love the color
love the color/beading on your audi even more...
what LSP is on it?
Oh no, it was an actual White-tail doe. Probably about 90 lbs. And I don't like saying I hit her because I was actually slowing down to allow her room to run across the road in front of me. However, instead of going off into the woods on the other side, she charged right at me and hit me.
I have a feeling the deer didn't feel much of anything except maybe the thud.
It's extremely common to hit deer; not just in Alabama, but most places with a sizable deer population. According to a State Farm Insurance report, the odds of hitting one in Alabama is 1 in 163. West Virginia is the most likely place to hit one with 1:53 odds.

My go-to LSP is Optimum Spray Wax. I love it. It's easy and it lasts.
I like that you keep things lighthearted and in perspective. I hope your Audi is mended soon
