Does it really work?

Do you have to remove your polish/sealant with alcohol or something similar before applying?

Hopefully you get a chance to post use some pictures of your final creation!

Yeah, it really works!

Washes off with soap and water. Leaves no residue or anything to harm the car. My sister in law used it on her new van when her daughter's basketball team went to a big final game. I'm taking pics with my new digital camera when I finish my art work!! As soon as my son teaches me how to post pics, I will!

Thanks

In the spring I disassembled the tach and scanned in the stock face and cleaned it up a little bit, then used photoshop to in layers add the monkey face and the "Motor On"; I did a color version befor but it just was a little too cluttered so this time I pulled some stuff out and did it in black and white; it is printed on to a transparency that I picked up from walmart and ran through my chepo injet.

I just need to remember the face is there at night cause it pops up in the streets lights and scares me. My MINI is named "The Black Pearl" from the Pirates of the Carribean movie and that is the Monkey that lived on the ship (his name is Jack); so while its good for Haloween its a permanent mod now.

Here are some from Smoky Mountain MINIs Boo Run. I didn't have time to take more. There were some really great cars. This one was my favorite. http://www.flickr.com/photos/6372255...7594350861007/
