    Wow that turned out looking great as usual with your details! After you sprayed the P21 Auto Wash on the engine did you use water to take it off or did you just wipe it down with towels?

    agitated the p21s with a brush and then washed off with a high pressure washer..

    Great job, Phil! i like the idea of using QD on wheels, but never done it myself...do you spray it on the towel, and wipe it off, or spray it on the wheel directly?

    Man talk about team work well done :applause2: but man those are some sharp looking pictures :thumb:

    With a group like that I'm sure this job was done quite fast. The funny thing is that when you detail in a group, not only is it done faster but you enjoy it more.

    Thanks for sharing Phil, nice turn around :thumb:
