wow that looks great! nice job!
any before shots.
any before shots.
I bought the Menzerna from you and I was very pleased with the results.
The Wolfgang sealant was free so I thought I would try it.
I only have a couple of before pictures, and they aren't very good. I was having trouble getting good photos of the black color; I don't have good lighting.
The scratches were not too bad.
Which compound would you recommend that would be a little more aggressive than the PO203?
