Yesterday whilst washing my mum and dads cars, you can tell the difference between what good and crap paint is. It finally got the better of me when i was washing my dads truck to realise the water was actually drying into the paint. it was that dry, faded, dead and flat that it had literally lost all shine. Drastic action needed.
Take juan 11 year old L200 4life
Take selection of "miricle makers" ( did swap the rotor pad to a different type but it was as clean as this, note the cleanliness )
