You need to take a road trip before selling it. Charleston?

I agree with Rod, a Charleston roadtrip is definitely in order for blackhorse. With Old Yeller roaming around town you are getting quite a following!

Just wanted to say what a beautiful job you're doing. It looks fabulous!! It's gotten me to clean parts of my car I had no intention of cleaning...and now I'm finding more places to clean. Thanks a lot.

Mike you are the man - When it comes to making the cars look great no one beats what you can do
When you walk on water does the tide tickle your feet ?? -- If I was staying in Indy I'd be down to KY in a miniute since my Black car needs some MikeyBuff !!!

Mike: Inspiring effort. Have you used or do you have any thoughts on TouchupMagic to level the touchups? I am a rank amateur relative to you, but am impressed with how easy TouchupMagic handles the excess "globs." I am curious as to any mistakes you made while climbing the learning curve. It would help to know the most obvious (and oblivious) mistakes.

Chris M:
My wife has been on me to go to Joe B's in Lexington for pizza. When I get the car done maybe we can do a meet and greet at Joe B's.
Stooldoc:
I've got a better idea you come up here pick up Blackhorse and road trip it to Charleston. LOL.
jnnking:
It truly is a sickness. To bad my daily driver is such a mess.
Raptor:
The only thing I can tell you is to take your time and go slowly. Before attempting on your p-car practice on a car you don't mind making mistakes on. The best way to learn is to do it. I have been doing this for over 10 years and I still make mistakes. On Old Yeller I was all pumped up showing it off to the new owner and he pops the gas door and the underside of the door was never cleaned or buffed, and I always do that. I was embarrased. A month ago I bought a CLK 430 cab to resale. I got it in the shop sanded it and while I was buffing it I got too close to an edge an burned the paint. That sucked and I had the fender resprayed. It happens I don't care how good you are. As far as Touchup MAgic. I have never used this product. I would like to see it though. Do you have a link?
