FK1 #1000 to protect

Polished Shots after another wash

Re: Bmw 745

Another fine BMW detail under your Belt.
I find them very satisfying to work on.

Re: Bmw 745

Damn, how can somebody let a $70K car go to hell? I will never understand 7-series owners, it seems like their cars are always trashed and dinged up.

But wow, you did an amazing job on that detail. Your quality and consistency of work is amazing! Keep it up!

Cleaning the interior in the garage at night?! Whoa man! I think I would have had to go back the next day. FK1000 really looks like a heck of a product. Nice job as always.

Great job as always Thomas!

Those 7-series owners are horrible.
