Nice car!

Nice job.

Need more detailers like you in Toronto

Amazing. Do you mind if I ask how long the process took from start to finish, and maybe a ball park estimate at cost? I'm looking to get something similar done to my car here in the midwest in the spring, with the same level of granular detail that you apply. nice work.

I'm curious how you get your foam gun to apply so much foam to the car. I have one from Wolfgang, if I remember the brand correctly but it does not foam up that much.

sure what are you putting in the foam cannon?

is it attached to a pressure washer?

I've used several car wash soaps from Griot's, Meq California Gold, to Meq Tech Car Soap (like this the best).

Mine is NOT attached to a pressure washer. Mine has a quick disconnect connected to a garden hose.
