Gross! Was that a fingernail?

Very nice sir! Sad to see it required some wetsanding being so new and all...nevertheless you make her showroom new

Nice job....

Wow, very inspirational. I've got some swirl marks from where the previous owner used to get the car washed through an automatic. There are lots of places I need to block it down but just don't have the time or will to pay someone else for something that I otherwise love to do myself. These types of threads are double edged because I appreciate the example craftsmanship but know I need to get to work

How much do you guys charge for all that?
