    Completed a few weeks back when the "Bing" and Aubrey from Going Clean in Dallas was out in California.

    Here is Aubrey and Richie prepping the finish for clear film installation.

    Great work as usual, Bob. But I think you threw in a pic from an AMG in there by accident:)

    Great work on this one Bob, I'm always amazed how quickly seats can get dirty, especially in a convertible. Lovely transformation.

    I have that same microfiber apron. Works nicely.

    Great work on the BMW too!

    Question on sanding: Do you always sand all the way up to the body line? Body lines scare the shit out of me when sanding. I even go so far as to tape them off lol.
