wow awesome turn around phil! Paint looks extremely wet! Might have to pick up some 1Z glanz. I would love to own a GTR in the near future.

 

Awesome Phil that GTR looks right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

NICE Phil!

How do you guys use 1Z einszett W99 and how does it compare to Opt power clean?
is it good for tar/bug removing?

 

Great work Phil and crew. I have noticed that you have been using the Sonax polishes for most of your recent details. Can't wait on your opinion regarding the line. They seem to work great on any paint.

 

w99 is used as a pre cleaner to strip off any dirty,grime, bug, tar, oils, wax.

the sonax polishes are great we have been testing (for about a year now) them with the uber pads and uber microfiber cutting pads w/ griot's orbital polisher. we have seen some amazing results. its a very predictable line up.

we hope to see them in from Sonax in the 3rd - 4th qtr of this year.

 

Nice work!

Are some great products!!!

 

I want that car NOW!

 

damn that came out great Phil. Those products seem to always yield you folks some excellent results!

 

Incredible turn around as always, Phil. Great work!!

 

That's great news Phil, I was able to play around with the line at SEMA last year and those Sonax polishes performed very nicely. Can't wait till you get them in stock.

You guys really seem to enjoy using that Glanz Wax.

 

sure thing I'm pretty excited about them.

 

Phil, do you foam with the W99, let it soak and then rinse, and then with the Adam's shampoo shown in the pictures re-foam and do a 2-bucket wash? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just trying to clarify your procedure in my mind. Also, what concentration of the W99 do you use?

 

Love that car. Detailed one last year.

Came out proper. Nice work as always.
