Thanks for looking, Brendan

 

Great work brendan ... did you experience marring from using the aggressive clay?

 

Great job on the Mazda5, looks great when it's clean like mine:

 

thanks, well obviously the cars white, so it was hard to tell. But nothing that I was able to notice.

thanks! I must say, these are actually pretty nice vans...really sporty looking

 

How do you like the 303 protectant?

 

nice work! how long did it take?

 

it's not to bad, haven't been able to test durability though

started at 945 and finished up around 445.

 

great work

 

Great work! I love the look of the tires, just right - not too shiny.

 

the collinite 845 looks pretty good on white car, nicely done in the interior too, very clean
you should try DG501, that make a huge difference on my white car.
