Here is a repeat customer from last year although I neglected to post pics of it last year. The cool thing with this one is that I got to really play with my X3 compound and I really liked it. I had tried it once before but the difference this time was using it with the foamed wool..boy does it EVER respond well to that! One thing though, I found that I had better results following it up with 106ff/white pad than I did with X3 and white foam pad. Maybe just me though?

Thanks Yukon!! Doc..thanks a lot! You should see the interior of the Jimmy I'm working on right now..the driver's floor mat I spent 1/2 hour on for fun. And the rest? You'll see....
Well done, nice turn around on that vehicle :cheerl: Always a pleasure to see your details richy :druling: Just can never get enough of your neighborhood and the gorgeous homes :thud:
Thanks Gary. P1et..thanks bud!!:headbang: Carlos..thanks a lot!:thumb: Sal..I appreciate the comment.:mounty:
Great work as always richy. Man when you get a mini van you just know the interior is going to be a chore. I did an Odyssey the other day and for those floor mats (which I really liked by the way, very good thought process on them by Honda) I cleaned them and then sprayed them down with DG 253 Tire and Mat dressing and set them out in the sun. After about an hour in the sun I brought them in and gave them a final wipedown once they were reinstalled and they looked phenomenal!
JL..great tip on the mat dressing. I've tried 303 but it's pretty expensive to use for that. They are an intelligent design, I agree. Thanks very much!
