What are your thoughts on DG I am thinking about picking some up soon



How do u like stoners for the wheel wells?



thanx



Stoners is fine, buy one get one free, works for me.



I LOVE DG. I think DG is one of the best hidden gems in all of detailing. They also have "reasonable" prices on their gallon sizes. I'm going to be picking up some oder eliminator and a few other products in the gallon size as soon as my trial sizes run out.
 
They all look great, love how the wheels came out on the Saab.



What is that Mustang in the back ground, future detail ? :eek:

That is mine, up for sale.



It has VM topped w. DG AW x2 spread 24 hours apart. It was covered w/ pollen though.
 
Thank you for the in depth detail. I like to see what other people are charging. The product run down was also great, got a few new products i'm looking to try out now. Looks great. Thanks again.
 
yeah, thanks for posting the prices onto there too. It's nice to know how much others are charging. Great details. Saab came out great; it seemed like the sun was dying down as you finished.
