R1366 gets a makeover...Thanks to bbasso!

Post by R1366 »

After years of neglect, I finally decided to give heR some much needed attention. The paint on the R was so faded and dull it was embarrassing. So I called up the one person who I trust to work his magic on my R.

A BIG thanks to Rob/bbasso for coming through and braving the unseasonably cold spring weather we had. The results were amazing.

:hammer: for forgetting to post here :oops:

Here some pics of the day:

Hey Rob,
Great job all around. I was wondering what you could tell me about the products and orbital you are using, I'm looking into getting some detailing tools (ie. what kind of pads, orbital, rubbing compounds, ect). I love your work and your car always looks so good, I'm here in FL which would be a long long drive lol. #1366 came out spectacular.

Looks fantastic! There's nothing like running the back of your hand across some freshly cleaned paint!
