    Very nice work

    That Bimmer was pretty nasty!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Thanx it kicked my but on headlights and wheels. Paint was rock hard and color doesn't really pop. Polishes weren't making a dent and it was a 1 step polish job. If it was a paint correction it would have took m105 with MF pads on speed 6 lol

              HD Metal polish. I think any metal polish would have worked though.

                My friends wheels are worse than these. But I need sum meguiars wheel brightner, iron x, and a Daytona brush. Without these I won't even bother to attempt it.
