Default 50+ hour detail job

This is pretty awesome. For those thinking about undertaking this kind of project, here's some motivation with pictures of the results. Thanks to my Dad for sending this link.

    Buy your Dad a beer on me for the link! That was pretty awesome to see the before and after and I think it's a '01 245 Jubileee too! I really like the pictures of all the products and buffers he used!

    Wow, over 50 hours of work,.... the results are amazing but I doubt my body could survive all that work. I thought my arms were going to fall off and my back almost went after a few weekends of buffing the 'ol Talari a few years back.

    Too bad he's not local or I would really consider checking him out!

    Thanks MariahMan and your Dad too

    Wow, that is just amazing...and inspirational. We just picked up our "new" '97 Shabah, and it needs a lot of work, so I will be buying those products to get it clean and shining. Your Dad is pretty incredible!

    That's amazing. That looks like a good winter project to me.
