Great write up...car looks great! Love how you linked all your products. I just got my order from you an hour ago. (Uber super drying towel and Sonax FE wheel cleaner. I think I'm going to order more of these towels to use as bathroom towels lol). Super fast shipping and great packaging. Only wish I would have bought more stuff at once.
