It's been a few weeks since I did a full on balls-out detail on a car (interior, exterior, and engine bay). I thought I was rusty. However, after today I still think I have the skills to do some real good work. Did a 1998 Black on Black BMW Z3 today. The car wasn't in that bad of shape considering it has OVER 120K ON THE CLOCK!!!
