WOW! That car looks amazing! Great Job! I am actually shocked at how well the UPGP looks...very WET and DEEP! ???? I have used UPGP on Black and Metallic Silver and it looks nothing like that? I guess I'll have to give it one more shot. Again Great Job and I love that Color!

Thanks! How do you like the PGP? Also, I agree about the NASCAR tire shine, great stuff indeed! I believe it is also water based. I have 4 bottles of it :cheers:

So far so good with the PGP. Very good slickness and looks, but full durability is still to be tested....

Got in a tub of Pinnacle Sig Series 2 today from Autogeek, and decided to try it over Ultima. Overall I am very, very impressed....
