Afters

 

Beautiful work. I wish I had a detailer in my local area that had photos of work like this. I can really see the quality of your work. I dont have the patience to do that good of a job, and honestly, dont have the skill or knowledge. I need to start looking for a detailer in my area (East Central Iowa) to do my truck.

 

thanks!

 

Looks great but you would think a car like that wouldnt have orange peel

 

as paint technology improves and changes (for the environmental reasons) you will see this.

I have seen orange peel on some of the most expensive cars in the world.

BMW, Audi, Ford, Ferrari etc all have it. Its in the factory paint process.
