WOW... no love.... :mrgreen:

Amazing Pictures Milan! You see the car just like it was in real life in front of you through your pictures.

Amazing...Just amazing.......

Wait a minute.  Milan already posted pictures about this detail.

I thought perhaps process/products may be beneficial to members....

I will just let Milan post the pictures here on Elite since all else seems to be non value added

Peace out!

I didn't think of it that way.  My bad Jason.  I do appreciate your process/products information though.  I have found that beneficial, and it makes my "want to buy" list of detailing supplies grow.
