LOL. I would probably do that next summer and would gladly pay full price of a detail

Nice work Goose! Do you do this for a living or part time side business? Nice work

Another quality detail job and satisfied customer. Great work as usual!

Part-time business that started as a hobby.
I just like doing it. It just feels good to me when I do it. It's addictive!

I like the start and finish results as well. It's rewarding to see the kind of work done above.

that half/half shot tells-all!

Goose..........You know green is probably the hardest color to make look good.....Just because not alot of people dont seem to like it....And on a C4 none the less.

You did it well. Looks great.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that

+16 on the great work!! I'll pay ya for the detail + 4 times that for a tutorial!

Love doing this kind of work also, but am afraid to complete torch someone's finish with a high speed buffer and aggressive polishes, etc. so far stick to my orbital, claybar, cleaner wax, etc..

Thanks man. I think I may have shown some ways to use the buffer, and detailing processes before. I think...

I rarely use a rotary buffer on a whole car. When I use it is for some stubborn paint imperfections, spot correction, and stuff like that.
I do have three buffers right now..

I have the Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher: my favorite tool

My old trusty PC7424: my little working horse

My Griot's Garage Professional Random Orbital 3 Inch Polisher: my newest toy

And I also have an old 2-speed Craftsman high-speed rotary. It does an ok job, but hopefully depending on how things go, I may pick up a Makita model: 9227CY

neat! I am novice and feel silly in comparison... I have a Wal-mart bought random orbital--like 7 or 8".. My t/a paint always looked flawless though--but i spent a lot of time with it. enjoyed it.. I have lived in an apt with no place to work on finish for most of ford's life and it shows... I"m moving in a lil over 2 weeks (1000 miles away and to a house

) so hopefully i'll be able to reverse all the swirls and all.. would be great to know someone relatively close that is knowledgeable and could show me what i'm doin!!
