Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance - Best in Class - 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2 detailed by Mike Phillips

Great work Mike! That is a nice car, but from his collection I would choose the Nash pulling the DUO ski boat.
I was supposed to attend that show with a car I have been detailing for about 10 years. I was working on it before it was completed, and it won the Hagerty Special Award this year! Sadly too much going on with my real job.

I hear you on not having enough time. I have a LOT of pictures from detailing the 1952 Nash Rambler, but no time to process. And for what it's worth, the basecoat/clearcoat paint on this old 2-door Nash was ROCK HARD. Luckily, it only had light swirls an scratches in the paint.

First time I used the Plasma Coat for a show car detail.

Same goes for the boat, I did a full sand, compound, polish and ceramic coat, just no time to process all the pictures to create a solid write-up.
