I appreciate those who took the time to look through this extremely long thread. Thank you.
 
Very nice detail work on the Black M5. I do have one lil question. Did the owner want to remove the M5 badge on that rear trunk?

Again, awsome work!! :dblthumb2:

I was wondering the same thing about the badge - awesome scratch removal!!
 
Very nice! Good work as always. I used to really want one of those back in the day, sadly they are looking very dated now :(
 
It would be so awesome if you were really John Petrucci and besides being one of the greatest guitarists ever, you detailed cars in your spare time. Who knows, maybe you are. Could you autograph my copy of Images and Words?

Thanks Stephen, owner wanted it de-badged for a sleek and discreet look. He's parking on campus and I know there are a lot of "bad" people on campus.

Dated?!

No way :), well maybe I'm biased. I own a 95 M3 and its always a blast to drive even though I was 9 when it was built.

Haha, unfortunately I'm no Petrucci :)

But I can say that I would love to be the man. Absolutely one of the best musicians of our time.
 
:wow:

Very Nice! How long did that take? Looks like they used to wash it with Sandpaper. :cool pics::goodpost::goodjob2:
 
Very nice work. Amazing results and excellent write-up with exceptional photography work.

This is a template for how to capture before and after pictures for a forum write-up. Completely earned 5 bows.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:


I trust you educated the owner on how to properly take care of all your hard work? Especially how to wash it correctly so the damage isn't just instilled all over again.

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it. Without AG's help I wouldn't be where I'm at in my detailing journey.

Also, I'm glad to see my personal car is still on the website :)
