Default Thank you Anthony

Well the Rockville meet is this Sunday and I wanted to make sure my p-car was looking its best so after discussion with Anthony I order product to wash, polish and wax....this was a few weeks ago.....thanks to the professionalism of DHL the first shipment arrived wet, in tatters and in a trashbag ....my shipping dept at work would not accept so returned..(has it ever got back to you Anthony)...Anthony...knowing that there was a deadline shipped out a secont set of product ... no he did not use DHL this time.... he even paid the additional cost to make sure it got to me on time. Then having found that it had arrived spent time on the phone with me to ensure I used it correctly to get the best finish.....he even gave me his cell phone number so I could call him Saturady while polishing if I had any problems or questions........with customer service like this I am sure his business can only flouish....well done Anthony and thanks for all your efforts.

UH. Where can I get whatever you used, and how much does it cost? Did you use an orbital or other polisher, or all by hand? That is the best black finish I have ever seen.

Car looks amazing period, even if it was brand new it looks unreal. No photoshoping in that pic? What kind of lighting was the photo taken in?

Hope you don't mind but I posted your pic up over at Autopia. Beautiful outcome and the way the Optimum wax makes the paint so wet looking is incredible.


blk on blk -

He used Optimum products and if you PM me I can get you whatever you need, towels, pads, etc.

Thanks,
Anthony

Guys - thanks for the comments

The products used were all Optimum from Anthony. I used the Wash, clay, polish, wax (so dam easy to use its a no brainer) all from optimum, with my Porter Cable on setting 4/5, cloths for finshing were the Optimum drying cloths....they are expensive but real good.

As to the photo it was taken in sunlight by BS911 last May using a Canon (dont know model) and I believe all he did on photoshop was change the lighting a little.

Thanks for the link

Just checked with Brian - he only filtered for glare from overhead sun.
