    Oh good, glad you received the shirt, hope it fits okay. As for the documentation on the details, credit should be given to the UK guys. I've learned a great deal from some amazing UK detailers and it was from them that I got the format I use now ;)

    If those are the CG fluffy towels, they rock. The detail was great, nice to see some wet sanding on dirt, really finishes off the detail.

    The shirt fits nice, looking forward using it on the next detail :)
    As for the prize I won, I got the Victoria Concours wax.. Will be used very soon! :)

    Thanks a lot :)

    Thanks! :) SN looks very good, made the paint really slick too.
    Know anything about the durability?
