looks good bro!
Swirls are very minimum. What you might be seeing are actually deep scratches my friend did to his car by taking it to those car wash places.Originally Posted by nrengle

hahah. cost of airplane ticket plus food. =) I thought of trying to get better at this and do it as a side job, but dang!!! My back is so sore the next day after doing this. I think photography would be a better approach for me. =)ok, how much would it cost me to ship you over here and take care of my cars???.....

How much to detail an ep?

i cant see the pics either
nice. i never heard of a car wash putting deep swirls into anything though. you can buff out anything that doesn't actually touch the paint. if u wanted...the secret is you have to sand swirls away and buff it to a shine. otherwise, swirl mark remover isnt as effective.
gasp...teach me how to detail since ur from the bay!
Your detailing is always mangasmic, dude.
nice...
i need to detail my NHBP
out of money to pay someone to do it
and i dunno/trust how to do it myself
