Looks damn good Phil!

Did you apply the tire dressing and everything before you did your wash step???

At least by the order of your photos that's what it seems.

Hook me up with some of that Pneu. Stuff looks great!

I assumed you did it afterwards also. I just wanted to give you a hard time.

How do you like Crystal Rock?
