[phil@detailersdomain]

I haven't seen anything like this in a long time.....it was quite scary indeed and let me tell you the customer was very excited!

I always wonder what something like that costs?

Can you explain what you stated here. What do you mean by "broken down?"

Once again some beautiful work!

[kenchan]

polish has diminishing abrasives and after it's worked in or broken down, it turns into that hazy white and you wipe off with your MF towel.

just a detailing lingo.

Okay, that makes sense. Detailing lingo for sure. Thanks for the explanation!

Would you check the paint thickness before starting in on something like this?

[phil@detailersdomain]

yes we did, we check the paint on all the cars as part of the detail.

before and after.

thanks ken for answering

[Hmmm]

Hands down the dirtiest clay bar I have ever seen... WOW!

And ya, I couldn't stop saying wow on this threat, like Ken pointed out, those ghostly images were strange! Great job again, kudos!
