Guys, the undercoating is still on there, its just painted Silverstone. That entire black gunk you see on the ground is mud (mud because I wet it) that had accumulated through the years. It literally disolved after it was soaked for about 10 mins. When you have a chance, go to your car and with your nail, scrape down a little and you'll see the dirt come off. It's dirt, unless you regularly clean your wells. The rippled lines you'll see are caused by #1. The original undercoat that has the dimple finish. #2. The waves of air rushing through the wheel well.

Trust me, there's no way I would take off the deading material.

Hello All... This is my S2K that Dario and Jessica detailed for me. It had some stains on the paint from the previous owner. They spent a total of 12-14 hours on it. I gotta say that I thought I was anal about my washes and details but Dario has me beat. He has a level of dedication bar none to anyone that I have seen and vast detailing knowledge to back it up.

If anyone is looking for a detailer, Dario is definately your man.

Thanks again Dario and Jessica - You saved my baby!

Cheers,

Gus
