Great work on the exhausts! I can't believe someone actually has the nerve to drive an Aston Martin in Berkeley lol

Thanks guys. It took him about 3 minutes trying to get the car out of the garage. It's in the nice part of Berkeley away from the ghetto so he's able to .

I did one a long time ago, but I (we) locked the keys in the trunk of a DB9 conv. last month... The problem is that there is no trunk release in the interior...

 

[baseballlover1]

what did you do?

 

[imported_artikxscout]

baseball ~ the paint was soft, but nothing the SIP couldn't handle. It's moderate in my sense. I could remove majority of the defects with a PC. So go from there.



Todd, Thanks.

Wow 3.5 hrs, you are pretty fast with the PC, Looks very wet and great job!

 

[imported_artikxscout]

I think it was 3.5 hours or ~4. The car didn't need much polishing. It was getting everything else perfected that took the longest. Thanks for the comment.

That's gorgeous, but I'd be pissed if a cat was messing with my paint!

My best was locking the keys in the trunk of an Exige...What a PITA...

 

[imported_artikxscout]

what happens if you do get a key stuck in a car? ::knock on wood:: i hope it never happens to me.

Wow! Excellent work!



I locked the keys in the car of a civic I detailed. It was dumb b/c once you turn the car on, the alarm locks the car, then if you open the door to get out while the car is running and close the door, the car locks. So what happened was that I had to get out of the car while it was running to let the engine bay dry. I ended up having to call CAA (AAA in America) to open the car for me. Could have done it myself as I have the same car, but I chose a more 'professional' route. Then to top it off, I did the same thing again 2 minutes later! LOL I ended up opening it myself.



Again, amazing job! That AM looks ridiculously wet!
