Afters

 

Really nice cars coming out of the DD, big difference in the before and afters! Great work as usual.

 

Phil,

Am I missing anything? The bumper looked like it was full of chips, how did you get rid of them?

 

that was all bug and tar from the road.

 

Probably bugs.... nice job Phil

 

Looks awesome in the afters, good job Phil

 

Tell us more about the Sonax Insect Remover....works looks great as usual too.

 

been testing a lot of new products lately.

the Sonax Insect Remover is solid. Does exactly what it claims.

Another sweet job by Phil and the crew.
