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

Wow..really nice job. I did 4 yrs professional detailing and I know how difficult black can be. No swirls or anything...real nice job.

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.
