What do you guys think! !

Before

After


Ok guys, Since everyone wants to know I will confess................................. ..

I use Menzerna products from properautocare, I have been using their products for over 3 years and I can tell you that I love the product! !


Here is some pictures doing my C5, Prepping the car is the most important step for a glossy Wet look! ! Always take your time tapping and claying the car before Buffing/Polishing!









I entered my car in a contest, maybe I can win! !

Seeing Mikes car in the past got me to switch to Menzerna and I love the stuff. It did the same thing to my vette! Seriously that stuff can correct some paint flaws!
