Excellent as usual! I've always enjoyed looking at photos of your work.

how do you like the hd uno, is it all that its hyped up about by the guys on autopia?

Looks awesome, but you maybe should have taped off the license plates too!

I truly am at a loss for words (primarily adjectives

). I am sure this car looks better than it did brand new. Thomas is the definition of the consumate professional. You can tell the love he has for his work by his attention to detail and his drive for perfection. His knowledge of paint correction is phenomenal as evidenced by his completed work.

Before Thomas arrived, I could see reflections in my paint. I just couldn't tell what they were a reflections of.

Now, as you can see, it is like looking into a mirror.

I do try to keep my car clean. This can be a full-time job for a DD in the PNW. As I mentioned to Thomas, My "detail method" was basically just trying to do as little damage to the paint as possible.

If you are like me and nervous about taking a buffer to your car and considered hiring a professional detailer, I can, without a doubt, HIGHLY recommend Thomas.

Thomas, THANK YOU so much!

FYI, I'm sure last night Thomas was tired when he posted this and his process. He forgot to add he "clay barred" the entire car first.

Bluefire - Thank YOU! I had a blast for sure.

Dave1 - Thanks! I wished that I was driving the Vette home that night instead of my dirty car.

The finish is outstanding on this paint now. Looks amazing.

Choreo - LOL. That is funny!

blackmachdown - I think it is me who is so pumped up over HD UNO on Autopia. Best polish ever.

Alaskanpilot - Thanks alot.

bags142 - Thank you sir!
