RP, that car looks amazing! I guess you need to just open a detailing shop and go ***** to the wall.
And open the shop in Florida....preferably near me! Finding a good detailer is far and few........but who knows....if I am ever in your neck-o-the-woods, I'll look you up.......
Don't know of any good detailers in the P'Cola/Ft Walton Beach/ P'City area do you?

(that and, how the hell am I going to work through this plethora of detailing stuff that I have if I don't expend it on a few client vehicles!?!? )
"Son, don't try to make you living off one customer, treat them right, and do it at a good fair price and they will come back next time and send thier friends, so you'll make more money."
Anyway......
Thanks for the tip on the headlights, I'm going to go get some plastX and sand paper tomarrow and try it on headlights, tail lights, instrument cluster and a cpl scratches in my compass lens in the overhead console.

While I can't say with great confidence that this is exactly what I did... I can tell you that that's, 9 times out of 10, exactly how I do it. I've slept a few nights since that car -- and have had a couple more come through the garage since then.

Meg's APC+, yes. I typically stick around 10 or 8 to 1 on the ratio.
Even better than that, though, is the Blue Magic carpet cleaner. Available at your local 'mart' store, it's really a GREAT deal. Between a dog, > 1 year old, and a wife, I use it around the house ALL the time...
High on the ammonia side so, used in well ventilated areas.
