    Talking Eat your heart out!

    So after many weeks of sitting in the holy Moab red dust...I finally broke down and got my baby sparkling clean! I took her to an amazing detail shop...referred to me from Gill...Thanks again by the way. And they were working on Ferrari's and Lambos...etc....I handed the keys over and $400 and 5 hours later...she came back a beauty. Oh did I mention that the clients were checking out my VX over the Ferrari's and Lambo's! We Rock!!!! Check her out!!! They even did the under the hood!!! She is better than brand new!!! I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!! EEEEEKKKKKKkkk! before and after shots...

    Very nice! Off the subject... have you ever thought about replacing the Ironman logo with a custom IronWoman logo?

    Yeah...I just have to find the right people to design it...Do you know anyone...I want it to be the same logo but as "VX" to the front and a "W" next to the face over the "M".

    yeah - except they did it in 5 hours!! - instead of an entire weekend. wtf? (how'd they do that much detailing in 5 hours?) did they have a small crew work on it, or was it just one lad?

    either way, nice job. NOTHING beats a detailed, spotless, clean VX. NOTHING. It's okay to see her dirty after playing, but when play time is over ~ back to spotless is a requirement.

    BIG kudos.

    Thats one pricey car wash! For $100 less you could of got some rock sliders to protect your VX from those big bad rocks!

    For that price, they better have used brillo pads on all of the undercarriage, and made the WHOLE thing spotless.

    It looks great but I don't think yours was caked in HOLY Moab Red Dust and many thousands of bugs...so I wasn't about to even attempt to make it look this good on my own...because that would take a week and some days. I am a perfectionist when it comes to these things. They even cleaned my gas cap!!!! did you clean yours?
