I have seen the light...

Thought I was a pretty good detailer until I spent this past Wednesday with Octane Guy. He has refined car detailing to an art form. Learned the "art" of patiently using a Porter Cable and Prima products to turn what I thought was a pretty good finish into a true mirror.

I am so jealous! I would love to have Richard detail Kirky but there are no cross-country trips planned in the near future.
