Phil you da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all these 911's have crazy swirls..the owners shouldn't take them to auto car washes!!!!!!

most people with money work there ass off and don't have the time to do it themselves so i understand.. it's just if i owned a 911..well when i own a 911 turbo it will be maintain swirl free like my 335

Phil you need to come down to SOCAL and do my car!!!!

Good example of how black is a heaven or hell color.
It looked terrible when you started and beautiful when you finished.

I don't think my next car will be black because they must be washed, dried, polished and waxed very carefully and more often. And they must be dusted constantly. Lighter colors are much more forgiving. But when they are clean, polished, waxed and swirl free, they are beautiful.

yup I would have to agree with that the funny thing is when the customer dropped this off he said it was probably a 8 out of 10...hahahahaha
