Mike K. here on the TR, is the owner of this car and just picked it up a couple weeks ago and gave me a call. The overall condition of the car was pretty good and we just did a "basic" 1-stage polish on it. The car used to have a wind visor for the moon roof, but the Mike took it off and it had left some pretty serious clear coat damage from rubbing on it so much. There were also some pretty serious scratches on the roof from what seems like a laptop or books being sat down and slid across the finish often. I ended up using M105 compound on the entire roof and top pillars(between the roof and doors) and it did a pretty good job, to get any better would require wet sanding which we weren't looking to do this time around. Mike was very happy with the outcome as was I, especially for a single stage polish job.

^ Uh oh, maybe a test? Great job once again

TIM TIM TIM

a bit of a test, its got some pretty intense swirls and stuff in it.. I have faith in our man though and he can get it looking good... not expecting 100% but even 90% would be worth the money lol

Presidential_Detail

Ill do my best! I can assure you it will be atleast 90% better for sure though! Cant wait for those 50/50 shots..

Mike K.

Trust me it was all worth the money to me. Bill did an outstanding job on my car and I couldn't have asked for a better turn out. Bill was very flexible and worked around my schedule. Bill always kept me well informed and always showed up right when he said he would.

Thanks again!

Mike
