Looks great Phil. Is it just me, but does the new Lusso give more of a sealant look than the warmth of a carnauba? :shead:

 

not sure still can't figure it out....I love the look and its pretty easy to apply and remove...

 

Great work Phil, what happened to your wrist? That color is unique..you made it look awesome.

 

bad news...I haven't detailed a car in 4 weeks, hurt the wrist on a q7 detail, all I have to say is take breaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a cortizone shot and its not better yet. Tendons, carpal you name it...I can't lift my thumb and when I rotate the wrist I have tendons rubbing against each other...horrible injury.

 

it sucks i know phil .. get better soon bud..

 

Have a bee sting your hand. I heard it helps with arthritis. Weird, I know. Anyways the car looks great! Have you gotten a chance to try out Autoglym CWC? I'm in the right mind to send you some to try, it looks exactly like p21s dwelling with all that foam. How do you work that Raggtop stuff in?

 

I sprayed raggtopp on the top and use the boar's hair brush to work it in.

 

Hope your hand's better soon... :gasp:

 

Sorry to hear that Phil, glad you are back in action..is it really bothering you now while you detail? I bet you are backed up now..good problem to have though

 

not back in action yet.

 

Car looks great love the colour. The Lusso definitely looks like a sealant. More bright than warm and deep.

 

Nice job on that one. Get Well soon player!

 

Very sorry to hear about your wrist sir, I hope you are young enough that it will heal itself in time.

I can say I have never seen that color between the states I've lived in; Ohio, Tennessee, and Florida..

 

Great Looking TT :applause:

:sorry: to here about your hand, I tell you what this business is tough on the body :thud:

Hope you get to the bottom of this :hug:

 

Very nice work, shop is looking good too with the racks in check!

 

Sorry to hear about your hand Phil, hope you get better soon.

Lovely colour...mmm...papaya :thumb:

Vehicle looks great oh by the way what is this tool, looks good:

Do you have a better picture? What is it? Foam on the tip?

Just curious that's all.

 

yup foam on tip, will be carrying a few consumables in the near future.

 

nice i always dread applying black wow to thos honey comb grills :wall:

 

Great work there, Phil!!! By the way, I remember you were testing Bilberry wheel cleaner, did you like it? Are you going to carry it?
