Great job Jason, and great write up as well.

 

Great job as ususal Jason. Man you make yellow just bling! Your work is a benchmark for me to work toward!

 

WOW so many of the Dakar yellows become faded and has no depth or gloss. You sure turned this one around!

 

Thanks man... The write up's take a long time...

JL... Thanks Bro.. huge compliment my friend!!!

I have realized Supernatural is Yellows friends

Thanks Phil!!! This car pre correction was very flat and lifeless... almost chalky looking

 

Wow, just ridiculously amazing work there Jason! I can't believe how you got the M3 to shine so much. It makes me wish I had that M3 right now.

 

Well done, vehicle looks great :worship2:

Mi Amigo - Thank you!!

Thanks Cooter... You will love BOTH of them... These hides were in pretty good shape as they have seen leatherique a year or so ago but the leather master really made the soft, supple and very nice looking

 

Excellent work Jason, that looks really good. Big yellow car fan here!
