Looking mighty good Chris.
Yes, sorry, I didnt link to it for some reason

I foam down the car and allow the soap to dwell for a few minutes. I then rinse it off before even touching it w/ the mitt. I refoam and then wash. Might be a little much, but I think it helps to break up the loose stuff and rinse it down, leaving less on the surface to drag around

Heres the foam gun link for those interested: http://www.glimmerglassdetailing.com/foamgun.html

Did you mean his volks had some battle with the curb? Or the 17" oems?

I curbed one of his OEM 17" when I borrowed it, dont tell him He doesn't know cuz I curbed it where he curbed it before haha
Thanks!

Dont worry, I wont say anything, lol But yea, it was the oem's that I was referring to
