    I'm glad to see someone else using Poli-Seal, it does a good job of bringing back some shine for a one step product. Car looks great.

    The car looks great!! I can't wait to try out my opti-seal bottle.

    I don't wanna sound like an a**, but I think the leather seats turned out too shiny for my taste. Maybe the picture was taking before you buffed them out. I apologize in advance if I offended you. I'm just giving my honest feedback.

    Looks great, nice and reflections on silver. Did you find Poli-Seal clog your pad? Was it hard to wash off the pad? What speed on the PC and what pad did you use? I like the look PS gives. My 1 step is Meg D151 and KBM but I still want to try PS

    the seats i did them last thing, , what i use m180 , it get`s inside the leather , and leave the leather with natural clan look. you were right is right after i treat them. is a good product and works good and doesn`t need that 5+ hours process as letherique for example.


    ps clugs, i did clean the pad multiple times , i use the plastic wheels , spur or how is called. for deep cleaning i have the pad washer , and that cleans all the pads like new very easy.
    i work ps at 6 on polish pad. i do have d151 but it think ps gives you less dust , yeah u have to work ps in less size , goes long way.
    :mounty:
    thanks Cosmin

    good exterior detail, and great work on those scratches

    those seats and dash are mondo oily - do people still request the armaoil look? i thought everyone was feeling the matt finish these days

    I have actually had customers asked why I didn't apply dressing on plastics and vinyl because it was more of a matte look. I always tend to use a semi-glossy tire and trim dressing also because of that.

    Very nice work OP, it is definately hard to get huge visual impact with silver but it looks really nice and bright!
