Nice job on the detail. So, why are you selling your car? Do you have another car in mind after this?

Ever since my first child, the car sits in the garage most of the time and I dont even have time to play with it anymore (taking it to autox or track). I already got a replacement.

dont you hate when you do stuff to your car so it looks good right before you sell it, stuff you have been meaning to do for a while.... then it looks so good and you dont even get to enjoy it

Yeah...keep it moving...it's much easier to burn the paint with a rotary.
