Very nice Phil !

 

i should have left the car there, at least i know it would stay in that condition. perfection is hard to come by, but when you do, stick with it... "Detailers Domain FTW".

 

Very nice reflections, nice save very nice work!

 

NEVER! Or make them aware they will be flipping the bill...
