looks nice, now you just need to make it a " jet " btw if your a " detailer " why are you cutting once a month? you shouldnt even be polishing once a month let alone cutting. anyway nice car.

thx mate , only cut it once a month if it needs it , i usually do it every 4 - 6 months but last 3 months ive done it once a month since its been scratched , all gone now tho which is good , polish it once a week but that doesnt matter and the jet bit is getting sorted soon when I lose my license nxt month , gonna drop the car n some cash off at Horsepower Automotive in Deer Park no get it over the 300rwkw mark
