Yeah, quite a few different colors actually. Even shades of green.

Wonder if those wheels were black to begin with? if not, he's in serious need of your detailing expertise.
The interior probably smells like an ashtray considering this guy is just puffing away

How long did it take you to make that car shine like that? Looks incredibly glossy. Are you from the Meguires detailing shop? Simply incredible.

Beautiful car. I'd like to see a blue one.

I really like them in black though.

I haven't seen the the whole movie, but caught the first part of it, the movie Redline...where the guy does a 4 hour trip in an hour and 45. He went 205mph the whole way...won't he have to stop for gas? I didn't see any stops.

Sorry...way off topic.

Yeah I love the SLR. I must admit that I can't afford one but if I could I'd seriously consider it.

I don't know why people who cant even pay for a complete brake job for the SLR whine about how 'crappy' the slr is..

By the way, great detailing job - I gotta have my car detailed this summer.
