Damnnn

big fan of detailers domain. Have ordered all my stuff for them for years, starting with my s2k. Quick shipping, great customer service... Phil, can you give a general estimate of what you charged to do this?

pm sent.

What was used (method/product) to get the B pillars scratch free? This is something I'll be doing in the spring.

Thanks!
