Worlds "Best" Detailers Uses Black Wow

Hey guys--some exciting news--

No, I'm not plugging myself, but this has been silently brewing behind the scenes, Paul Dalton, the guy that applies wax like lotion on his cars, and made headline news about his expensive paint polishing jobs in the UK, has been using Black Wow.

He just posted over on DetailingWorld..see post #29
http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/foru...0&postcount=29

http://www.miracledetail.co.uk/auto-...g-profile.html

I had heard that he bought a bottle and liked the product, then most recently that he bought two more of them last week for his customers--impressive because most people have to give him products to use!

Richard

Nobody bothered to mention that *I* use BW also... and was one of the early adopters... and just used it again today, with spectacular results, I might add...

I'm sure you just forgot that you already had a "celebrity detailer" here who used your product.... that's OK, I'm used to getting no respect.



(Somebody help kenchan and ChiliPepperJet and MiniMaybee get up off the floor, will ya...)

OBTW, that IS pretty cool/awesome, OG...

i think you need to live in the real Hollywood, not Holly "springs" to become
a true celebrity.

If I had a Chevy Celebrity, I'd detail it with a belt sander. And Rustoleum.

Wow... between Paul Dalton and Blimey giving you these ringing endorsements, Richard, I have one suggestion for you:

Quadruple production. Now.

Good for you. Good for me.

Good for you because you'll be raking in the $$$$. Good for me because maybe the wait won't be so long when I place my next order.

That's pretty freakin' sly! I ended up watching his video (featuring the ungodly expensive hand applied car wax) right after I watched your two-wash bucket method video. (There was a link in the sidebar.) (His wasn't very informative as I have neither a Maserati nor Ungodly Expensive Car Wax.)
