Wonderful job, hope I can get the same results:) I especially like the tire dressing, not to "shiny". Did you get pics of the wheel wells? Did you also remove the clear bra from the rear wheel arches? Will I get the same results on Mugello Blue with these products?

the rear arches were not requested.

Am I missing something you took the clear bra off, that is 400-500 dollars and makes a huge difference in chips, bugs etc...

I'm sure the owner will have a new one put on...kinda hard to detail the entire car with ppf on it.
