Enjoy!

Amazing Phil. Love what you did with my ride!!

Jay thank you!

Did you do a full hood wrap I couldn't see the line?

Great job, need to find a good detailer in LA.

Phil,

Can you recommend someone for a full detail + wrap in Chicago? I have a red C63 that I need prepped for winter. Btw, what's your method of claying? Do you spray a full panel with lube and then clay or do piece by piece until its all done? (takes sooooo long!!!) :(

sorry I don't currently know of anyone off the top of my head.

but you can check out www.detailingbliss.com

some good detailers on that site.

Awesome job as always Phil!

I secretly want a C63 SO bad. Well...I guess it's not a secret anymore... :)

thanks! hey I missed you the last time you came up.

Outstanding. A great start for a new MB. :cool:

Cool, I'll check it out. Could you tell me how you clay though, or is it a secret of the trade? :)

great job, Phil is the man...love the C63...
