Amazing Phil, I love your write ups .

Nice. How on earth does a car get that bad.

Jakes_tl

Can believe such a new car would get this bad. Either way great job!

Great Job. Although I really like my TL, I also really like that GS 350! That color was brought out perfectly by you.
Side thought: is it just me, but I never see the new GS 350 or ES 350 on the road......

damn you make me want a pressure washer. I have a cheap old foam master and its cooler than my regular garden hose but now where near what a real pressure washer does. Anyway, nice job.

Just goes to show you should never let a dealer "detail", your car!

the longer I do this the more I believe that statement is true in our part of the country.
