LOL at BFG ATs on a Lexus, but the detail job looks great. Seeing this makes me never want a light colored interior. Amazing work once again sir.

What tools and chemicals did you use on the door cars and also the speaker grills? Do you worry about pushing grime further in?

Thanks, and excellent work!
