Nice work. How long did it take you to do the entire detail?

Nice work. How long did it take you to do the entire detail?

Hard to say, dropped off Thursday - did all the prep, wash, & test panel. Friday buffed all day then Opticoated at night. Saturday night after the 24 hour period I did a few dressings. Sunday last checkup & interior.

Thanks all, I need better pictures.
