Had a mate that used to remove all the chrome side moulds on an XP falcon whenever he used to polish it.

Nice..

This reminds me of an article I read last year sometime regarding a person who detailed his white Holden Astra or Vauxhall as they call it. The detail this guy got into would blow your mind. It was amazing.

If anyone has the link to it I'd love it as I've been searching for it since reading this thread..?

Yes Todd is without doubt one of the best I've ever seen from the United States. Fantastic work ethic and attention to detail
Thats not a detail, I call it a "REFINISH" Another level above detailing
Not many around who can or will perform that level of work

I've done a number of ferrari's, Lambo's inc a countach with the massive rear wing and cars worth half a million dollars but I've never done an F40 and not even the countach can compare to the F40 in terms of how finicky and **** you have to be to machine polish every crevice of the body.

Must add todd to the list of people to visit this time next year on my next USA trip
