wow....nice phil!

 

Very nice Phil!

BTW, the Uber Blue small applicator pads are *perfect* for tire dressing! :thumb:

 

Awesome job! The Crystal Rock finish is really nice.

 

Looka awesome! I love those new applicators, they work very well!

 

Looks great there Phil!

 

Great job Phil!:headbang:

 

Phil, who is your helper taking a lot of the pics?

 

great work Phil!

 

outstanding as always Phil

 

Phil's the one that takes the pics. The guy you see in the pics doing the work is Dan, iirc, from a detailing outfit the name of which I forget atm.

 

Very impressive, Phil! Looks like your jar of Crystal Rock has done a few applications...how many applications, so far???

 

Gorgeous little machine!!!

 

Phil great job man that is a real nice car. I love the lint removal on the top, and your new apps look sweet!!!!

 

I really want some Swissvax waxes in my collection...but not yet, gotta get that CR Spotless and a rotary first...I won't start with Crystal Rock though...something like Zuffenhausen or Concorso to begin with...

 

Thanks!

 

over 60 applications I believe. many many Porsches...

 

Which rotary are you looking for. Metabo

I would get Concorso first, I believe its the best all around wax that they have.:thumb:

 

nice work phil for a daily driver ..lol..kidding ..always look foward to seeing your post

 

I'll probably end up with having both, Metabo and Makita, planning on starting with Metabo first...I'm not ready for it yet though...give me some time... Whenever I'm ready, I'll let you know, Phil, I'll get Metabo and 3M backing plate...
