That looks great Phil.

I noticed you used adams and sonax glass cleaners. Any reason why you would use two different products?

Thanks.

You guys do such great work.

Do you use iron cut just for the wheels or can you use it for the body of the car as well?

Phil are you still able to polish or compound the clear film later?

Do you use a different wax on it than the wax of you would use on paint?


That shine and seal looks amazing!
