    were you able to correct this area at all? from my experiences with this, the egg shells usually cut EXTREMELY deep into the paint. just wondering if you had any luck with this area. once again, nice work!

    No, no luck at all... I was very careful around this area. When I passed over it, was very very light.

    I was going to mention what previously was mentioned about the random damage shot. That is from a egg that was partially frozen. I see that over here more often then not. That porsche was hammered and it simply amazes me the way that some wealthy folks live.

    I do have one question though as i have seen this on some cars i have polished and that is what are the tiny pin hole like or bubble looking things in the area in which has been polished? I keep thinking solvent pop but then again im not fully sure:

    [​IMG]

    I tell you what though the car looks damn good now after all that hard work.

    Thanks bro... and I appreciate all the feedback you gave me as well as the help

    That means a lot coming from a guy that does as good a work as you do

    Piet, there are a lot of nice cars in this area. They have the money to buy them, but would rather have them "detailed" at an express wash then spend the money to have the properly taken care of.

    This client is actually from the waco area

    Thanks grandpa... im 28! haha
