Damn, nice car and nice work!

That's a big ass drying towel!

You list Aquartz AND OptiCoat, did you use both or just one? Do they layer?

Do the customers come to you to pick up or do you drop it back off to them? It looks so pretty when you are done I would be afraid of dust and bugs on the drive to their house!

Our Super Drying Towel is amazing!

Opti coat was used on the wheels and Aquartz on the paint and glass.

Customers drop off and pick up.
