    still want to try that adam's trim spray that comes in the can but waiting to hear more feedback on quality. been using black wow so far and it takes me so much time to buff it off. am either going to go with lexol's stuff for the trim or adam's spray trim if it is any good.

    any feedback from phil on this would help out on making a large order soon
