A few times a year something comes along that is a treasure and in detailing that treasure to me was preping two cars for Pebble Beach and Quail Lodge 2012.
The 1955 Porsche 356 Pre A GS Carrera Speedster I believe the owner told me its 1:14 in the world. It will be attending Mille Miglia in 2013
The Ferrari is a 288 GTO that had the honor of sitting on the 18th hole of Pebble beach as one of the cars for Ferrari USA.

I have used other solvents, but have noticed a hazing of the paint...

Here at Reflections Detailing of Utah I had a mid winter new car prep sent to us. This car was transported by the dealership in Nebraska, almost 1000 miles, to me here in Utah. The client is located here in Utah also, but about 120 miles away. I thank the client for the trust in sending his car to me, without ever stepping foot in my shop before. I value trust and work very hard to exceed the level they gave me.
