maybe its just me but when i see that kind of dirt on your clay you really didn't wash it well enough. maybe you can save some money by doing a better wash job?

That was off of the doorpanel.....

I have a Gas Pressure Washer, and Highly Concentrated Shampoo. Trust me, there is no dirt on the car.

That car was just neglected from the beginning....That is what happens

Worked my ass off?

I never ate. Just a minute here and there to grab a couple cookies and a soda....

The polish broke down really easy, I mean REALLY easy....

Probably one of the softer clears I worked on, for BMW......

The correction was needed, and it had to get done within that time period, Haul Ass?!

I never took a step indoors while I was working on the car. While the sealant was curing, I worked on Trim, Windows, Tires, Wheels
