outstanding work

thank you.

now that is how you correct paint. What in the heck did the last group use to "detail" that beautiful Bmmmr? A monkey with some saind paper? Great job guys! Simply amazing!

Amazing work again!

This is exactly what I need. Doubt I can afford it though...

thanks!

pick up some product I believe if you have the time and willingness to get the results you will be able to.

I have everything I need. Except time haha. I work 60+ hours a week so it's hard to get around to these type of things.
