Well boys & girls, I'll share something about this job. If you look back to a couple of hood shots you will see cloud reflections in the lower R. That is about where the biggest bird poop stains you ever encountered in your life were located.

I'd tried everything I could think of to get them out but no luck

There were also several large swirls in the paint, thanks to some minor tutoring from some clown who told me I needed to use a direct drive circular buffer. Kinda like handing a 12 ga shotgun to a 10 year old and telling him..."You'll figure it out." Yeah, Right!

Anyway, to make a long story short, Rob worked his magic and with the exception of too many stone bruises, MMC5 looks like she just rolled off the assembly line!

All the bird stains and swirls are GONE!

Absolutely Beautiful!

I told Rob that the car looked exactly like I expected ... except for the front facia and under the hood. That's where he far exceeded any expectations I had.

I cannot believe what he accomplished!

Thanks for making the trip up Rob.

TM
