Question Anyone Know This Guy

Was browsing the Autopia detailing forum, and decided to check out the latest professional details. I spotted a thread titled "Rx-8," which I then proceeded to obviously click on. To my surprise, I found an awfully legit looking Rx8. Full Abflug body kit, Work Emotions with Potenza RE-01R's, CF hood with a Rotary vinyl, and a RE-Amemyia Exhaust. This Rx8 actually made the Abflug kit look pretty nice. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows this guy and if he is on our board. If not, someone needs to get him on here. Lol.

Pretty nice sortof I think, at least in concept... but the main thing that sticks in my mind is his stunning ugly 300 watt halogen light and various garage bits reflecting in every feakin pic almost...painful ... esp. as his shine is full of swirl marks and scratches...so wondering why he's doing this photo session in his garage?

The autopia forum is for people who care more about spiders webs than the cars themselves. They will take pains to ensure that the paint on a bland sedan or suv is completely free of such spider webs.

This guy here is showing how he buffed out those spider webs.

The halogen lights are necessary to prove his results.

Damn he buffed the **** outta that 8. Ive spend a lot of time taking clear coat off my 8 to get rid of the minor scratches but this is excellent. Time to spend more $$ on fillers.

the fit of the nose on that kit was horrible. how do you spend that much time making the paint look good when the basic fitment is crap?

Lol. Yeah. I have done the same, but since I have grey, it isn't as noticeable, especially since I have also buffed mine a ton, but haven't removed a too much clear coat. I also have put tons of sealant coats, so mine looks amazing, but would look even better if I was able to get a buffer to make it flawless like that. My front bumper which was painted in May, is still flawless, under halogens, so that would look really good. At least my front looks like a flawless match to the rest of the paint, so I am very happy.
