P - add one to my shipment, Ill give it a go.

I try to create an unique experience for people when they come to get their car detailed. For a consumer to pay $500 and up for a serivce like this deserves the extra mile. I want them to leave feeling as if this was worht triple waht they paid.

Good write-up. Its all in the presentation. Make people beleivers.

There is a picture of me on my detailing website wearing a loin cloth and holding a spear with a big bone in my lip. Im aiming the end of the spear at one of the wild boar's on my 4000 acre ranch in New Zealand that I specially raise to make my wash brushes.

I'd give it a go if a customer wanted it or I saw that ti provided better coverage or results. I do think my hands may cause marring, just like I thought ONR washes did before I did one.
