Ewwwwwwwwww.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... clean !!! And shiny !!!



Hard to make that silver reflective, but we can really tell how hard you worked by the reflection in that roof. I can see a flea on a bird in the tree that's reflected in that roof !

Bonus points for just the right amount of shine on the tires, too.

Had to add a full size to prove the silver is reflective.

Didn't mean to offend you. In fact, I thought I was paying you a compliment.

But to see what I mean, compare the silver paint's reflection to that of the roof.

Silver and light colors don't reflect like dark colors. See my sig and I think you'll realize I know what I'm talking about.

Would you recommend 'Crap it rained' into our regulary detailing procedure .

Looks good!

no offence taken, Thankyou for the compliments. I can spend more time on the roof than it takes to do the rest of the car. The silver can only look so good.
Sorry about the weird shape , I don't get how to post these pics properly.
