Write up:
Good god I had no idea what I was getting myself in to.. It was a HUGE undertaking for one person, but it was an experience none the less. As the pictures can tell, it's not 100% perfect and I think it has to do with the abilities of the PC not matching up to the abilities of the Polish. My next purchase after some more carnuba and some synthetic will be a metabo. As far as products go.. OH MY did I love the Uber Glass towels by detailers domain they are by far the BEST glass towels I have laid my hands on, and will buy more, along with all my products! I am super pleased with everything that DD has provided me! Anyways.. it could've been better but after 10 hours I was spent!

Started at 9:00am
Finished at 7:05pm

It did take a lot of patience.. once one thing was done.. still had another HUGE task to take over.

And I'll wash your car for you!

Ill post here too..Thanks again Aaron for all your work. If anyone is looking for detail work he is the man to call. His customer service is top notch, just as his work is. I know I will be passing his name around (if you dont mind aaron) and WILL get you more work. Hit you up to do the LS. Thanks again, Will.
