Thank God finally made it home. Just wanted to put a quick pic of what I worked on while on "vacation". When time allows will upload the rest of the buffet.

Thanks to JC, JB, and last but not least JA.

Yeah at first I was like what the heck is this? The emblem pops out a little since it is very thick. After spending about 9 hrs on the red 996 the emblem grew on me and gave the car a good touch. FYI it's a heavy modded X50 with lots of upgrades so believe me when I say it can kick some serious booty.

I'm guessing I agree with you on the attention whore part. Only bad thing is none of the toys I post are mine. Just showing my work! I typically arrive to a job at around 6:30 AM and usually get done around 4-5pm depending on services needed. After spending that much time and effort in a garage that easily reaches over 95F it's nice to get a compliment or two.

Thx for the Comment

Mr. Litos

Thx and you've given me something to think about. Will contemplate this and should have an answer for you by time your up here Saturday.

Nice! Did you perform any swirl/artifact correction? What products and tools do you use? I spent about 6 hours on my E92 yesterday and finally tried some Menzerna Super Finish on the Porter-Cable. Since mine is Alpine White, I typically don't top the sealant and just use two applications of Jetseal 109.

Hey Amigo I use the same stuff found on Panomara and Excellence. I figure good enough to go on a $280K Porsche then good enough for Bavarian cars.
I don't use PC either. When I first started out I would use regular products from Megs. to obtain pretty good results. Now a days must say technique, experience and eye for what does/doesn't work has proven most helpful to me. No 2 cars the same, can't expect same results but by asking the owners a few questions on their toys easier to guage amount of work needed.
Lastly lots and lots of Elbow grease and Sweat. Try spending about 9 hours in a hot garage and still have a smile when the owner starts asking you questions about the work and how it's coming along. Hope this helps!!
