Default Classic Lines.......Style and Opulance
Here is this classic vehicle that I was recently asked to bring back that "Sparkle".

This gem with a history of Hollywood stardom had a hazed layer of paint and it was raspy to the touch. After inspecting the vehicle I determined that it was light oxidation and paint overspray. I then proceeded to perform an extensive detail to restore its lustre and gloss to the highest level possible....

Thank you for viewing this very rare classic

Wow.....Superb job as always Dave

Question though?.....How do you detail " normal " everyday vehicles after working on a piece of automotive art - history such as that?

Thanks for sharing that with us.....

I bet that took ages, with all the angles, grills, and louvres.
Great job.

That's odd Caddy, there are 4 in the body of the post and a whole vid over in the you tube link.

All display in FF whether logged in or not.

Did you try a refresh/reload?
