Detailed another Cobra over the weekend that needed a little road rash scraped off it !! Not as bad as Todds co workers, but still needed the full treatment. Exterior work only on this one, but the customer was extremly happy with the results, which makes it worth it.:p Here are some before and after pics. 21162117211821192120212121222123212421252126212721 282129213021312132

Jimmy, Another fabulous job! I think you should come up with a signature picture after you work your magic on these cars. Stand next to them once completed and have someone snap a photo. That will become your digital diary of sorts.

I guess when you drive only 45 mph on the highway....then you really don't have to think about the dry rot, cracks and generally unsafe condition that's probably going on with your tires. Remind me not to drive to close to you when we have our Club cruises.

10 years is a looooooooong time to be running the same tires, especially at our power levels. Becarefull!!!

Thanks for the compliments !! He has another set of tires and rims he said so I did not touch the rims. Had some work done on the suspension and motor, exhaust as ell. Can't remember what he said for mileage but the car has not seen the rain, but has seen some terrible towels, wax etc. in it's 10 years !!Amazing how bad the finish can get if not kept up right.Bad techniques, bad habits, a lot of missunderstood things when it comes to detailing, is usually where it starts. If perfection is what your looking for, NOTHING compares to a finish done (right!!) with a machine and good products. Unless your hand can move at 6800 rpm a machine is hard to beat.You can achieve great results by hand, just not perfection.I tell all my customers when I am done with their vehicle, I got it to this point with the work that I just did, it's your turn to keep it that way.

Thats him !! Posted a nice write up about me on SVT Perfomance on the work I did for him on his Cobra. I know him from one of the Ford dealers I deal with, Granite Ford. I helped him out (price wise) since he helped me with my throttle body last year. He's a nice kid.
