wow! Love it....

Absolutely stunning!
The owner had to say that it looked as good or better than new.
:tup:

Paint looks better than new.

How do you guys decide what polish/wax to go with?

thanks guys!

how do we choose what we need to use.

typically we would test the worse section of the car the spot that has the most imperfections.

then we move to compound or polish we feel would do the best job.

we seem to get a ton of Audis/Porsches/BMW its almost automatic what we will use on these cars now.

:yum:Wow!
