Marylander Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Fantastic work. I find that my Audi really responds to Adam's stuff... did you think that this job was a little "easier" than some? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that my Audi really responds to Adam's stuff... did you think that this job was a little "easier" than some? Rich Thanks Rich! no, this was not easier! since I work on alot of Suby's I get used to soft clear that corrects if I sneeze right. The flaws in this clear were deeper than they looked, not only had it been poorly cared for it's whole life it was driven to AK on the Alcan which is death for any exterior.

Chewy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Looks great! That'd be a long drive though! Miami to Palmer AK? 3 days 11 hours of constant driving! WOW! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=miami+FL&daddr=Palmer+AK&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=43.393645,92.900391&ie=UTF8&ll=51.944265,-111.972656&spn=34.182456,92.900391&z=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My audi is bright red so it's easy for the color to overwhelm the eyes and mask flaws. But it does seem to be easier to machine polish than the Corvette. In any case, I must compliment you again on your great work -- impressive as always. :2thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ1o87 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm seeing a trend in your customers cars - do you go over the car with a brillo pad at first to make the results more dramatic? Nice job as usual, attention whore! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuff Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hey Taig, I am constantly amazed at what you guys do with these terrible paint jobs, but I am curious after reading what you did how many hours it took to get it that nice. Keep posting before and after pics for us novices so we can see how the pros get it done right. This is one of the only forums that I have ever been on that there isn't all the crap, just nice people sharing knowledge. It is great that guys like you and AJ take the time to share with all of us. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Detailing Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks Tom, yeah I really like this forum for the people, a lot of other forums have haters and self proclaimed know-it-alls that tell you how everything you did was wrong, we all have our own system and if it works great. Oh, and just in case anyone didn't know I love it here, you guys and the Adam's team are really the best:bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 So Taig how long did it take to do the Audi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
