Lookin good man, lookin good.

I wish mine was that clean. Its lookin pretty rough. I'm going to need some serious paint correction and a couple of days worth of detailing to get it looking half as good as yours.

Yeah if you did it by hand, you won't get much in terms of paint correction. You will get done but no like with a da.

But it looks nice. You got great results.

Btw you must have Popeye arms. There is no way in hell I could do a vehicle like that by hand. My arms are just sore from thinking about it!
