I supposed to call him around the 25th of this month to do more. He’s getting a two new toys later this month. The first is a new Mustang Shelby that he sent to Shelby motorsports in Vegas to get finalized w/ all new suspension, brakes, and 600 HP. He is also getting a brand new Arlen Ness motorcycle tomorrow. Hopefully I get my hands on the car and some of his motorcycles next time. Enjoy!

Bradley, you did great on both vehicles. The vette looks dripping wet, glad I could help out. What did the owner think and say to you after, he saw the vette.
 
Megs Leather Cleaner and Conditioner applied bare handed?? can I ask why? Is it better that way?

also on the vette, you applied xmt glaze under jetseal. I thought you couldn't apply xmt glaze under a selant because xmt has carnauba in it?

Look like you got a nice account there buddy! Nice work too! The vette look sick!

One day I was bored and after watching Paul Dalton do the wax by hand I figured I'd try it w/ the conditioner. It's like a lotion for you skin, so I said what the hell and did it. It seems to work into the seat a little better w/o soaking into the MF.

I thought the same thing about the glaze under Jet Seal, but I spoke to Ed from High End Detail and he said it would probably be okay. Zaino stuff seems to have trouble bonding. CG stuff usually works fine.

Thanks for the compliments. I hope to pick up a few more high end clients, so can stop doing so many wash and vacs. I just have to be patient, and remember money is money.

Thanks a lot Ed. He was very pleased and just like you would expect from a 60's rocker he said the Vette, Looked righteous! Best comment ever!
 
That is some really nice work my friend! I'm actually digging your trailer more than the Vette, very cool graphics!
 
Very nice work on both vehicles! They look dripping wet! I'm sure after seeing what you did with his vehicles, you'll be doing more high-end details after he tells some of his friends.
 
Shady, that is so cool that you got to detail Greg Allman's cars. It must have been a thrill to meet him. Was he cool or aloof? Great job on the cars.
