Thanks for the compliment. But Remember most detailers would probably agree that 80-90% of the look comes from good polishing and not wax or sealants. Jet seal is a great product, nonetheless....even better when topped with CG 50/50 carnauba wax.

Re: Concours Finish Detailed: Black Mercedez SL600
At first I though SIP and the PFW was a little too agressive for the amount of swirls the car had but after seeing the finished result my doubts were gone, you went for 100% correction and did just that. Really nice work here
