The 93 40th ANV ZR-1 is hands down my favorite C4 Corvette! You do great work and I hope the owner takes care of this very special Corvette!!!

From that post, it made me read almost all your other posts for detail work. Nice work, and how much are they paying for that type of detail. I only ask because if you were in chicago which 9 out of 10 times you arent, i would definitely let you detail mine for a week.

I believe the thread in the link said 8 days, more than 60 hours.
