Phil,

You really know how to make me depressed! I use the same products you use (except that I use a PC instead of Flex) and the results I get are no where near yours.

 

should be the same if not better ; )

 

What kind of spray head is on the Adams APC?

 

special issue black Kwazar ; )....

we put Kwazar triggers on just about 99% of all our bottles.

 

Looks like some hella bad mineral streaking on that back glass? I'm guessing glass was done after that pic...

Turnout looks great, as always :thumb:

 

I can assure you we did not delivery the car with dirty glass.

 

I was just giving you a hard time, Phil :thumb:

 

yes I figured however I had to make sure others will know we did not deliver the car that way.

 

Awesome work Phil!

 

thanks!

 

hi Phil, do you mind sharing how you clean the sticker residue from the glass? thanks

 

Looks damn fine Phil, still love the way these Audis look. S-Line doesn't hurt!

 

window cleaner and a razor blade.

Nice job on the car phil! Paint looks awesome.

Nice job on the car phil! Paint looks awesome.

 

correct razor blade and glass cleaner

 

Thanks guys. I have one more question - Doesn't razor blade scratch glasses? Do I just use the dull edge to "push" and lift the glue?

 

Hey you should put then up in the store . I know I would buy some !!!!!

 

the kwazar bottles are already up for sale.

 

paixim, if you use a razor blade make sure it's stainless steel and new. Obviously plastic wont scratch but carbon blades will.
