FYI, a full correction could range from 400 to 800 dollars for a 20+ hour job.

Yeah, under the lights in my garage, or strong sunlight, I knew it was time for some serious work.

I've been tempted to buy all the kit myself, but I don't trust myself yet. If I go ahead with this detail session, he's agreed I can do it with him so it will be as much a tutorial as anything else.

I just wish you lived a little nearer

(I think the air fare might make it the world's most expensive detail though)

I love this transformation. The car was imported to England from the US in a bit of a poor state. Clearly it's had a superb paint correction detail, plus new wheels, suspension and stripes, spoiler and hood scoop. One of our Club members has just bought the car.

Finished installing the GT500 rear spoiler (stuck on the Gurney flap, lol), cleaned it up, and went out for a drive, a fun drive

Got to take out the Roush this morning. We had a fun drive. Took her out for about an hour. I hope to do the same tomorrow morning. Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be a little better than today's and today was pretty nice.
