One of my dealers contacted me about a trade in that just came and asked if I would be able to make her shine again? I told him I will try my best and see what can be done. When I first saw the car you could tell the paint was extremely thin. The whole car felt like 220 grit sand paper. I...

Does anyone have any experience with this product? I used it today for the first time and I have to tell you that it actually removed dirt from the leather. Leaves it with a nice rich color and not all greasy. I am actually happy with it. Another one I would like to ask about is the Zymol...

I ask this question cause I see that most people on here charge prices that around me are just nuts to people when you quote them. I think we should share what is being charged and your location. You can post from a outside wash to a complete full detail. Thanks
