amazing transformation right there man!

Another case of why I cannot fathom why people pay all that money for car and then use it as a mobile dumpsite.

Yeah I agree. Such a nice vehicle to let go like that. Shame.

Great work!

Maybe this time she will keep it in better condition. Probably not however. *sigh*

Wow that thing was nasty...good job

Sweet work - looks so much better especially inside. Awesome job on the carpets.

Question - IP on a yellow to LSP? How? The paint must have been incredibly hard; I can`t even imagine IP/yellow to LSP on a Japanese car!

Nice work. The paint looks nice and dark and wet. That interior looks clean enough to eat off of. Good job.

I used the simple green that is found in the automotive section at target.

i do not think it is the automotive one, that one is in a different bottle.

this is the concentrate and i just dilute it depending on how bad the area i`m using it on is, make sense ??

I think i use around 10:1 maybe ?? sometimes 12-15 :1

is that bad ? never harms the finish of the wheels ( although i do test it out on a small spot each and every detail ), still works well for wheels wells and tires ( white lettering too ) and spot treatment for carpets :2thumbs:

thanks for the compliment
