Great detailing work and write-up, as always...

mr.mbenz

incredible!

question in regards to the paint meter. Are you able to do an after reading for comparison? With all the stuff taken off...how does the meter determine what is still left on the car in terms of paint. And what is the minimum reading required after doing so many of these fine cleanings? Will the car eventually have to be painted?


how do you folks determine which products is best for which vehicles since there are some many products that you carry and sell? For instance, could you not use everything by Sonax if available?

thanks for your help in advance,
