    I took the tint off my 95 LS 400 and it looks much better now. I bought it already tinted but was too dark, so I took it off with intentions to retint. I changed my mind once I cleaned the windows and saw how classy it looked. To each his own.

    Jesus, I love this guy! Been watching for a while now, and I absolutely love the way this man stretches a dollar and comes up with super solid, slick results. Bear in mind, I'm a 62-year-old dude to North Carolina, been hot rodding on the cheap for 40 plus years. I considered myself a cheap (but good) bodywork and spray can wizard... until now! You are very creative and I'm just continually impressed with the stuff you come up with. Talk about demystifying paint work - I crown you the king of driveway paint jobs! And my man has kind of a Jersey smerk-but it's not the smartass one, it's the one where he's got an awesome secret and he can't wait to let you in on it! Thanks for letting us in, man. Best of luck, you're earning it.

    I remembered cleaning my 1st car inside and out back in late May 2005. I took everything in the truck and even took out the trash out of my car. I even vacuum inside, cleaned the dash, and even the windows inside of the vehicle. It looked so good inside before I traded it on a 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 in a SES model. My 1st car was a 1998 Ford Contour SE that I gotten in mid October of 1999. It was a good 1st car. Even my 2nd car was also a good and fun car to drive. I even do a little bit of cleaning in my current vehicle which is a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I had 2 vehicles between the Focus and the Escape. I rather not to drive a older car unless it has the same features as my current vehicle. I did drove a car that was 5 years older than mine car in the same brand and even model as mine. It was in a different color as mine for 2 weeks. I preferred in driving a SUV now these days over a car.
