    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share with you a great car that i had the pleasure to detail on the weekend. It belongs to forum member Michandy.

    Now Andrew has been painting this car in his shed oner the last few months along with some pretty heavy duty backyard landscaping and looking after his wife who is recovering from cancer.

    Now I have seen a few paints and this one is absolutely supreme. The photos do not do this justice especially with sub standard camera equipment. But belive me this thing really pops once you get it into the sun. It is almost hypnotic.

    Anyway well done Andy you have done a stellar job.

    Some before and afters of the detail.

    Cheers Guy's

    Thanks for the kind words guy's, was a long road but I'm now starting to get to the stage where I could be happy with it. Just a few more things to do sorting out the idle, lighting and cleaning. A very BIG thanks to Brock for doing the magnificent buffing job on it!. Mate you are a legend, Anyone needing their car detailed should contact him :cool:. Cannot fault his work.
    Anyway, gotta go do some more work around the house. Cheers, Andy :cool:
