Love that car . Timeless design. Seems like the nano scrub auto scrub is the new thing. May have to try this soon. I'm just apprehensive because it looks like it is harsh on paint , especially black. But from all the threads I've seen you post on here and detailing bliss etc seems this is a new go to product for you.
