Thanks Dan and Tom!

 

Great work Phil. That paint looks like it's ready to drip off the car.

John

 

I can view these threads all day - amazing job!

 

Great work-as always...

 

thanks!

 

Looks amazing! Great job again!

 

great job.
Is it me, or are the exhaust tips mounted on the wrong sides?

 

good eyes, the customer got the shop that did that to reverse it the next day.

 

outstanding!

Tell me......swissvax autobaun sealant on the rims. How good is it? I have a client with a range rover and the wheels need some heavy duty APC to get them clean, would Autobaun considerably help? Will it withstand mild APC cleanings?

Cheers,
GREG

 

autobahn was developed for the wheel so I would like to say its a great product.

we have used it for the 3 years now and have had great results.

hopefully they will be able to take care of the rims from then on without having to use much apc again to remove the brake dust.
