"believe it or not - ripley's" - KC detailing adventure tales
the heat of the day...sun .... nearly gave me a stroke & a sun burn too
This car was pronounce beyond repair or detail & was doomed for respraying work...instead of restoration work
2 months ago, a forum friend of mine, has been asking me to help him to detail his dad newly purchase merz...as a surprise gift for his father. Wow...i can imagine....how happy i would be...
to all our dad... you are our hero .....thanks for sticking close to us, thick & thin .....bring us out to this world & grooming us, Sorry for some heart aching moments...& we are never a better dad without yr fine examples....your love....your sacrifices...worth all that we live for...
to all dad....wishing you a happy & blessed father's....may God bless all & propers you with long live....as we still want us in a spin on our drive or yours...hehehe
this is a 16 years E class master piece....
i wonder how can one just live to scratched & drive the car at the same time
this is the most most most
most horrific paint damaged i ever seen in my life...more compact than any Compact disc
as water cover 70 % of the earth more swrils scratched & RIDs covered this ride
"believe it or not - ripley's"
its unbelieving right..look at the hood
the hexagon effect is the latest hype in decoration paint....better than mat or vinyl CF??
the hexagon effect was created / damaged by the carpet which the owner left on ther bonnet to dry at hot sunny day
"believe it or not - ripley's"...the new owner was told that this is the original paint....Hmmmmmmm...maybe the blind cant see...but they can feel with their finger tips
"believe it or not - ripley's"...the seller actually claim this is original paint???
u dont need to see just feel it with your finger tips ...as the tape mark ..prior painting...
"believe it or not - ripley's"
you either dont believe how can one treat his ride to???& another person would loves what is abandon & seeing her restored
more scratches

human scratches
"believe it or not - ripley's"...
more & more scratches ...if ever that there is an award for most scratch ..this will certainly win..i double nominate her

"believe it or not - ripley's"
