Very nice and perfect attention to detail.
Now I would hate to drive this car and get dirty! Just curious how much would it cost to detail as such with the 370z and with this BMW? |
Looks good. Loled at pict removing stupid bmw dynamics sticker.. :icon17:
|
Great job guys!
|
thanks guys, email me for pricing.
|
wow I'm impressed! I love the color of your seats. Would you recommend something like this for my once RED leather couches. Sun faded them, and maybe just using this product will make it shine again.
|
yes you can use them on your seats however if they have been faded by the sun not much will bring them back unless you redye them.
