13. Applied FMJ with the PC. (the owner needed the durability as this is his daily)
14. The test Applied Swissvax Saphir over the FMJ shortly after (as we wanted to bring out the depth..however we are not sure how long it will last and if the FMJ was properly set/cured we will see) but the depth and gloss came out nicely!

Can i say sparkling,nice job mate.

 

Always good to see a well done job on a black car!

By the way, is it ever sunny where Gil lives? Every picture I've ever seen of his place is pretty gloomy. Either that or we Californians are spoiled.

 

hahahah hopefully when we do his Rover this week the sun will come out but after the car is done not before. That was just perfect weather for detailing (not photos)

 

looking great...thats one serious operation..job well done!
