I hate that color!!!!

 

awesome job as always Phil....nice to see you getting assigned to wash duty, haha.

 

nice turn around!

 

Phil,

Again amazing work!!! Those shots of the hood are ridiculous...

Paul

 

great job Phil!

 

Nice work Phil! I did an A4 a couple months ago and I hated trying to finish it down without marring the paint with our towels.

-Kody-

 

thanks guys!

 

Looks great! Thanks for the detailed write-up.

 

Great work! That car deserves a great wax for LSP, you didn't put on some wax at all after polishing? Is the Super Finish itself enough for protection and gloss?

 

yes its Wolf's Chemicals Body Wrap.

 

Nice job phil.

 

Awesome job!

 

Phil, what was your process for removing the heavy waterspotting under the hood? And what LSP was used there? Body Wrap?

 

on this car it was super easy it was a wipe down with 1Z einszett Spray Wax.

 

Great idea with that Atomizer with the Sonax! It'll definitely cut back on my forearm rim cleaning "pump"

 

yeah the Venus Pro is a great tool and it will cut down time for sure.

 

Yes Sir, Looks Great!!

 

Hey Phil they may not be fun but your end results are always amazing !!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks great Phil
