Did you put Aqua Wax on top of Supernatural or just use it for the wheels or something?

BTW, car looks good. Nice work.

Very nice. I am amazed at how well you get the rims clean, mainly the inside.

nice man. i live in a city filled with the cheapest people from around the world (has three colleges here). I would give alot to have the experience of polishing it up with you on some of these beauties.

Nice work once again!

i see you used the p21s gel for the rims and i must say ....they looked amazing!!!! what tool did you use to get back in the rim itself! my audi has big enough openings for me to get in there, but tool wise, im stumped because nothing is strong enought to get the brake dust outta there lol
