Looks sweet! These darker metallic colors always give the best results.

Phil you are amazing! BUT what I would like to see is an early model Porsche, Benz, Ferrari, BMW or the like that is an absolute nightmarish pig of a mess to see the magic you can make. I worked for several detailers when I was younger and the true test was pulling a car from the river after a few days and bringing it back to life...any pics in your resume of these types of nasty jobs where you turned a PIG into a DIAMOND?

Another amazing detail Phil! I learn quite a bit just by reading your write ups. Can't wait to get my hands on my Detailer's Domain order and get cracking, even if it is 110 degrees where I live. You had me inspired today. I was sweating my ass off wiping down the very dirty engine bay of the X5. I'll have to wait for some P21S Autowash before I can really get it clean. The rest of the X5 had to settle for just a wipe down and a wash.

Lapis Blue is a gorgeous color and it shows of so many different shades of blue. That's the same quality that show off the swirls too. Great job making that Lapis look so deep.
