After Wolf's Hard Body

Danny used the pat dry method when he dried the car... that's how soft the Obsidian paint is... it's ridiculous. now i use the pat dry method. the uber drying towel Phil sells @DD which Danny is using is the truth. i don't even use the waffle weave drying towels anymore.

nothing looks better than a clean black car. I am impressed with the scratch removal to say the least

Syd, How long had you been driving this car before this work was done?

sydtoosic

i'd say about 5 or 6 months. the car was hit in the rear while it was parked, the body shop did a fab job fixing it but the same idiots polished the whole car and destroyed my paint. that's how she wound up at DD.

fyeah

what foam gun is that? What's in the foam gun? And what dilution ratio, if any, are you using?
