    Thank you Junkman2008!!!!

    After watching Junkman's series on clay barring, buffing & polishing a car, I bit the bullet and did my Viper. Thank you Junkman, you're the bomb!!! All the water spots and scratches are GONE!! It took me a week, but I was only working about 3 hours a day after work on it. The shine and depth of the paint is fantastic, even sitting in the garage. I am taking it to a show on Saturday and will get some photos of it in the sun.
    Thanks again Junkman!!! Your videos are the best!!

    I am extremely pleased with the results! Junkman you are the greatest!
    If you want to go into the detailing business, I got 5 or 6 guys who want me to do paint correction on their cars!

    Detailing is WAY harder work than I will ever care to do for a living. I like leather computer chairs and air conditioning. No way that I will be giving up that lifestyle anytime soon!

    The car looks great! Good job!

    Wow, the paint really pops! 15 hours of work really paid off. Great color combo as well.

    I've learned a lot from the Junkman. His recommendations about products and suppliers (I still laugh when I think about Junkman's "the price" video about The Rag Company) have been invaluable to me.

    Wish I had the confidence to take this on by myself. I'd love to do it, but a serious mistake can cost me a paint job.

    I wouldn't let that dissuade you from trying...machines like the trusty Porter Cable 7424 are practically idiot proof. Junkman has already gone through the trouble of giving you all of the tips and tricks you should ever need to do the job right - at some point, you just have to jump in with both feet and give it a shot.

    BINGO.

    If you are worried about messing up your paint, you haven't watched MY videos. It's so easy, a 10-year old can do it.

    I was very nervous too, heck I ordered the PC7424XP last year from Home Depot (they had it on sale for $80). This year I got fed up with seeing the water spots and decided to go for it. Still I watched Junkman's video series a bunch of times before I bit the bullet and started clay barring the car. Follow the Junkman's steps religiously and you too will have a beautiful shining car.
