Phil - Great job. A couple of things...

1. I need a nice, winter job done on my car. Although the car is new and Silverstone, it still has some nice swirls I'd like to do away with. I'd like some paint correction done, along with some nice coats for the winter. That said, where in NJ are you, how much just for the exterior and how long would you need the car for? Feel free to PM me the details.

2. When it comes to the wheels, wouldn't it be easier to just take the wheels off? How do you clean the inside barrels of the wheels?
