    Looks beautiful. I hope you get to maintain it so it doesn’t end up a swirled mess. Dark blue is tough to keep clean. 2019 Lexus LS 500h - A Miracle Detailing - Cquartz Finest Reserve

    Thank you. That is very kind.

    For those folks that wish to maintain it themselves, I instruct them on the Two Bucket Method and supply them with the tools and products to get them started.

    That blue is rich! Looks great with dark windows and the chrome wheels. Incredible work as always.
