The car looks gorgeous! Man, you use a lot or product. How long did this whole detail take you? I gotta learn how to clean my carpet/mat. Great writeup. That Dodo juice Supernatural looks groovy. How do you use the 303? Is it just a spray on and wipe off?

Thanks SR!! Glad you also enjoyed the write up as it does take a bit of time.
Yeah, I have quite a bit of stuff!
Just about 14 hours...
Supernatural IS THE BOMB... it is a bit pricey at $200
303: I actually spray it on an applicator and just wipe on and then gently buff off if needed.
Thanks again!
