Sweet !!

[Octopiston]

Looks good.

After owning 2 black vehicles I love the color when someone else is caring for it, but would hate to do so again.

As the owner of a black Lexus I'm in awe! Superb job! (As always.)

You should make a calendar with those twelve pics. ;)

Ikr.. I could never take pics that good. The neighbors would be across the street on their porch staring at me like "look at him now, he's literally laying on the ground taking pictures of his clean car"!
