Larry's Wife: "Larry you're never home and you don't hardly spend time with the kids" Larry: "I know I know, and what I've decided to do is take some of this spray wax, you see, and apply it to this microfiber towel, that really takes care of your problem right there."

[@ShivaalTiluk]

+Ian Champion (SkateWithADashOfJDM) lol lol lol Made my day!!

[@phen0boy]

Ian, look at the lambo's and porche's behind him. He's making some money, what do you do for your livin ?

[@johnty1]

He doesn't own them- he cleans them!

[@jamescolebaugh2148]

I'm dying laughing!!!!

[@jonhogan8922]

Dropping the microfiber towels on the ground outside and still continue to use them on your paint. I find that to be a common, dangerous problem.

[@fourninesfine9141]

When a bird poos on my car, I always poo on top of it to show the birds that it's MINE. After a day or two, the birds get the point and I wash it off with a strong stream of urine(drink lots of beer and hold it as long as possible), this is also done to show the birds who is the dominant alpha male. I then remove the residue with a clean microfiber towel.

[@36maris]

+Jack Handy :D:D:D

[@delorean117]

Fly up and poo on the Bird, they hate that.

[@WeskerVT]

I died

[@PressurenFlames]

Alternatively (if the poo dried out too much and sticks strongly) you can drink a few more beer and pre soften it with aggressive puke. Then use the strong steam of urine and of course at the end remove all the residue with a new microfiber towel.

[@hopebear06]

I will remember these tips when I'm scrubbing my van with the broom I also use to sweep out the garage.

[@javisimo]

Larry, I thank you for sharing all your expertise and passion for detailing. I am an aspiring mobile detailer and your videos are such a resource. Keep up the great work!

[@tomertzur4851]

hey larry do you sleep with microfiber pillow and blanket? 😂

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Probably a pillow of money

[@AldousForestTheLast]

Gilbert McGillicutty money inside microfiber on the outside

[@lordapophis5723]

Man, this guy's a fucking expert! I love it.

[@juliana13261]

what if i pooped on my birds car, will he be able to remove my shit from his car with the product?

[@tailopez5106]

lol

[@joshbautista99]

The purpose of his video is especially suited for those who take their car to car showcases and want to keep their car looking nice. This is for the people willing to take the time to spend on keeping their car looking great for a long period of time.

[@gcg8187]

Josh Bautista exactly. its not fpr ppl eho eash their car fucking 5 times a year

[@Necrodoxious]

So fucking true about the inside of your windshield. That bitch wins every time.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Clean the gaps with spray wax and a detailing brush... Agitate the wax until its released, then wipe with a microfiber towel.

[@BSMARSBSMARS]

Thanks for not making these /DRIVE CLEAN videos simply a sales mechanism for the products you guys use. That's pretty noble honestly.

[@elisaguerrero6276]

It's nice to see someone giving good information just to give it without hocking any products. Great video!

[@minecraftbuilder3110]

[@bekiro28]

larry is the best example for you gotto love what you do to be successful

[@SirSlyBird]

Awesome stuff man.Thanks for shedding light on those car dusters. Been using theme for years. After my buffing job, NEVER touching those again. My Stealth and I thank you.

[@JustinRatcliffe]

You're amazing, man. Also love that you aren't pushing your products hard in the videos. I'm learning instead of watching an infomercial. I notice you using your products and I'm telling you now that I'm going to buy your stuff!

[@Big_E_247]

Mistake #11 - Laying the handle of your duster on the painted part of the car @ about 10:00 minute mark.

[@SamFisherK]

Vipe your Viper with the viper towel

[@eXPR3D4TOR]

I can't be the only one who read that in my head with an Indian accent LOL

[@mechsuit80]

+eXPR3D4TOR Or as count dracula.

[@XxSTARMeRcYX]

Read it in a german accent

[@ROYteous]

Just bought a car with close to pristine black paint, so I've been watching videos for tips on how to care for it. This video was very helpful, and it even answered my question about car dusters. Pretty much what I thought about them.

[@AMMO-NYC]

@evilson007 That should work... U have to really wash the bucket out perfectly. It's just easier to use multiple buckets

[@joemay5]

in summary buy yoursell a shit load of spray wax and just rub your whole car down with a microfibre cloth.

[@BigMaxStax]

Lmfao!

[@Edward135i]

basically what i did today to my car.

[@bberg82]

joemay5 He must own stock in spray wax and micro fiber LISTEN TO LARRY!!!!!

[@Hector-qt5rn]

Step 1: Spray towels Step 2: Wipe with plastic spray bottle in a snake pattern Step 3: Buff paint to a high gloss using WD-40 Step 4: Step back and admire the wonderful job you've done!

[@lovelacetom007]

+joemay5 You are right, those only for losers. What kind of idiot, show car? nothing to do showing their pusssy?

[@3rdGenGuy]

Now all i need is a car that actually has paint.

[@DiHandley]

Absolutely the best advice on car car I have seen on KZbin. Excellent and very informative. I will be using most of your tips and advice in the future. Cheers!

[@michaelwelch557]

Great video, REAL tips, good guy & great speaker. Thanks!!

[@aryaahmadi4029]

That Viper looks EPIC!

[@Slarti]

03:30 the best thing for cleaning glass is window cleaner and newspaper. Nothing beats newspaper for giving a streak-free finish.

[@hmoobeveryrace9]

just saying, the ink from the newspaper can get on ur window. when a newspaper get wet, u notice the ink are coming off or so. microfiber is the safest, but just my opinion

[@ariellewest5024]

A detailer at Purdue told me the same thing, in fact he showed me, but I was never able to duplicate what he did. It always just smeared the ink when I tried.

[@ryannow]

Arielle West You have to use older newspaper, stuff that's been sitting around for a few days, so that the ink has had a chance to set. Its cheap, so use a new piece for every window, and if that doesn't work, then the problem would have to be with some sort of solvent(!!) in your glass cleaner causing the ink to come off of the paper.

[@ariellewest5024]

Thanks for the info! =)

[@KiRiMa64]

248 dislikes don't like FREE professional advice? If someone has more wisdom and experience than me,I'm going to listen while using discernment at the same time! Thank you Larry for dropping some knowledge on us!!!!

[@ChuckTipton]

Thanks for the great tips. I think the issue of dirt on wash mitts is a bigger deal then folks understand. And I am a convert to microfiber towels for spray waxes, buffing, and window washing. I purchased different colors so I'm clear what chemicals are on what towel. Thanks again for the free tips, very helpful.

[@claudesmoot1880]

Another common mistake is dropping your wash mitt, buffing towel, clay bar, ect on the ground, then continuing to use it. There is no 3 second rule.

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

there is when smashing pussy

[@MisterFuturtastic]

They should make these things with little wrist cords!

[@CreativeHuckleBerry]

took apart, painted and put togheter, polished, waxed both interior and outside on 2 cars that hadd crashed and we rebuilded them i think it was 2 years ago and it was an SL 65 AMG and an Dodge viper srt10.. it was really cool becus the viper have been my dreamcar since i was littel and now randomly a guy call and wanted actully 2 vipers and one amg to get fixed and painted but we didint have time so he send the second viper to an really know proffesional painter/builder so they could get them all cars finnish on one time.. funny thing was that the viper that got send to the place came out to be a very bad job, and the amg/viper that i put my hands on came out to be the best :) maan i was proud when i heard that, ofc i put alot of work in the polishing and waxing but was tottaly worth it.. now the both cars is just sitting in an big barn becus they dont have time to drive it and they dont want it to get dirty :D its like almoust 3 years since we fixed them..

[@SRPSWE]

dude can you come to sweden and fix my hot rod ? :D

[@CreativeHuckleBerry]

i would love to but im not working for him enymore due to some problems with payment, i think he is working on an very old Volvo amazon at the moment its gona be a orginal fully restored volvo, cant w8 to see how it will look when its done, if you hadd asked for about 2 years ago i would have come fix it, im so tired now after all the boats i sanded :D

[@LJRossPhoto]

Sam man Man I want to see this Volvo Amazon before and or after. If you can't tell by my profile pic, I'm a hardcore Volvo enthusiast. :)

[@CreativeHuckleBerry]

Hi yeah i live next to him and have seen he has sandblasted the hole car atm, probly working on the body and the corrosion how you spell that word but, yeah i could probly ask if i could get some pictures or something :)

[@AMMO-NYC]

Sorry guys...for some reason I can respond to comments in youtube? Any advice? Every time I click the "reply" button, it doesnt work. So annoying... -Larry

[@AMMO-NYC]

You couldnt be more wrong. I would rather drive the hell out of them....then clean them for fun. Thanks for watching!

[@hondasarecool1]

If only my car was nice enough to make this worth it.

[@ariellewest5024]

My car is in the same state. The previous owner painted a heavy matt coat over the original colour, and the only way to remove it is to have the entire car repainted. I don't even really bother to wash it anymore, other than the self serve car wash and it's mostly a rinse at that point.

[@hondasarecool1]

At the time I commented I had my dream car, though it's been wrecked by now.

[@jdmtoyota7079]

Viper my most favourite car

[@joshbautista99]

That older-style Viper is probably one of my favorite designs, and the newer version isn't as great as that older one, although I do have to give them credit for the lights on the newer Viper. :-)

[@joshbautista99]

Craig Schultz yeah. I love the sound to the new Viper tho. It's unique, and different from it's predecessor, but it's just that my preferance, would lead me to want to have the older Viper, but I do like the new Viper's lights

[@ZERO_42069]

I love the 09 viper

[@AMMO-NYC]

Holy crap I'm losing my mind. Why wont this work!!! Someone email me how to fix the comment issue... so I can respond to your questions. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr larry at ammonyc dot com Thank you -Larry

[@jpd3070]

Thanks! I've adhered to most of these tips in the past. I just need to work on Consistently adhering to them.

[@claudiopinto1980]

Excellent video, great tips, thanks!! Dumbest comments ever for a KZbin video. I guess those who comment this way have not turned to pro car aficionados yet. Those who saw an Ammo advertising here are the same who think the gorgeous waitress/barmaid smiles to them just to have a good tip.

[@ianmannis2714]

Probobly takes a whole day to wash his god damn car

[@chanelspeaksabout]

washing no detailing yes

[@davidlee3355]

I've spent over 2 days before washing and detailing one car!

[@paolo9274]

There are detail restorations that take a whole week just to do the paint without body repairs or ding repairs. Just straight up paint restoration. One-two days is not out of the question.

[@NaztyNate]

I work at a detail shop.. and trust me it takes forever to properly clean a car thoroughly

[@ntrickn]

My mother told me when someone has to use profanity to make a point it demonstrates their lack of vocabulary.

[@grantryan9591]

You are a great teacher and inspirational Thanks Brisbane ,Australia.

[@AMMO-NYC]

@DRAGSLICKS Email me, comment won't fit in response box. Thx

[@satansfittesleker]

This guy reminds me of linus techtips for cars hahaha

[@savgal1211]

I like Lexol and used it in my car seats. Never use dit on my dash board, thanks!

[@Blackinterceptor999]

The leathers used in my old Lincoln seemed thick and hard but after cleaning the seats and using the Lexol conditioner they softened up real nice, they not only look a ton better but they are more comfortable to sit in now.

[@ariellewest5024]

Jay Simons I use VinylX (by Lexol) on every car which has vinyl. It makes it look like new, with a sheen, not a shine. Armorall is just nasty to use on pretty much anything automotive. They use polymers to dry out quickly and leave a nasty white film so that you'll constantly redo the job and spend more on their products.

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

It's why I check 3-4 sources looking for a better job daily. You have a good one, bud.

[@rubiksbillli]

I always take something away from these videos. The best part of these videos are not only the production value but Larry really provides hard-to-dispute reason on his claims.

[@aryaahmadi4029]

I didn't know washing your car requires skills.

[@gusbisbal9803]

Craig Schultz Sir, I would also say that you don't drive your vehicles very much. You buy a vehicle that has 20k miles on the clock and you put 30k miles on it while you own it, I ain't buy that thing for what you bought it for.

[@gusbisbal9803]

Craig Schultz Craig, you pompous ass. You HAVE NO IDEA of my wealth. Zero. You know nothing of me. Tell me my yearly income and Balance sheet numbers. Even an approximation. Go on. My god your ignorance is spectacular.

[@rcshott3846]

yeah!!! so many "how to clean ya jalopy" there must be a shit load of dummies around

[@youme8876]

'washing' a car doesn't require a lot of skill. Professionally detailing a car does require some tricks of the trade.

[@uncIeben]

We have a similar last name. Selam

[@mikeh478]

You mention "spray wax" many MANY times, which kind do you use, or recommend? Thanks

[@bdaman97]

my guess is he uses the kind that he sells/is sponsored by. he probably uses just any "ammo" spray wax. I don't know this for a certainty but it seems to me that most of these detailing videos are mostly to promote product, so i would imagine that you really could get away with using any old spray wax. you could pick up some mcguires or mothers at your local walmart. If I am wrong in saying this please feel free to correct me but that is my best guess.

[@SanMan7]

He uses SPIT spray wax. Check his site look up ammonyc -- great stuff

[@TheOldmane]

In most of the vids he does, he tries not to name drop products because he wants the video to be informative and not a commercial. Just use a good quality spray wax and you should be fine. Mainly, it's for lubing the paint so you won't scratch it.

[@ariellewest5024]

TheOldmane I saw that as well. He never really says a name, just a product that's designed for whatever the specific use is. Obviously there are many products of which most have a similar outcome.

[@Zlyzer]

Drive is probably the best channel on YT. This is fantastic!

[@warren2336]

This video was hugely helpful. Thanks.

[@GTVAlfaMan]

This video would have been much more useful if he had used a dirty car to begin with.

[@EndofDays213]

Viper!!

[@jayzeus999]

Excellent advice and tips. I can't say I'm very mechanically inclined, but I do frequently wash, clean and detail my car and take pride in showing it off at shows. Get all the information you can and learn as much as possible. Having to go through the results of poor product, tool or technique is never fun. I'm guilty of the car soap on mats, but removed them and soaked them significantly, multiple times while hanging to make sure all the soap was gone and hang them to dry in the sun for a while before putting them back in the car. I only did this for the initial interior cleaning after I bought the car (Road salt! Never again!) - I now stick to proper carpet cleaner and scrubbing as shown in the video. My favorite mistake is using harsh cleaners on wheels - I used it on weekly washes but, even with prompt rinses, started to wear down the coating. I've recently bought new wheels and it's just water, soap and wax for them!

[@awdmute]

I purchased a buffer and a paint restorer recently and basically learned I just need my car repainted but a video explaining proper technique would be awesome!

[@spicytuna62]

I'd rather have a new car so this video can really be useful to me. I don't think it's that useful when you have a 15 year old/200,000 mile car and the guts are falling out of it faster than you can pay your mechanic to keep them in! lol

[@MindBlowerWTF]

If You are dedicated to a car that much, that You spend time detailing it You take good care of its mechanical aspects too...

[@spicytuna62]

MindBlowerWTF I'd love to be able to pay the utmost attention to the mechanical details of the car. But I'm paying for college on top of literally everything else on an entry-level job. Budgeting is extremely difficult. I mean it when I say I can't pay my mechanic fast enough to keep the guts from falling out of it. I've done what I can with what little I have.

[@greenzoid2]

Space Woona If you put in a little effort to learn some bits and pieces about the mechanical workings of your car, you could save thousands of dollars. The PCV piping in my car needed to be replaced, and my mechanic quoted me 700 dollars, because the way my engine bay is set up, it would require that the engine get pulled out in order to replace. The majority of the mechanic's bill is labour cost, and not the part itself.

[@MultiNutterbutter]

Space Woona ya! i was just about to say that! got my 15 y/o car with fed up paint that peeled off most of the car already... it's too late :(

[@super117knight]

Spicy Tuna anyway youre using a fucking speaking boat, and as i know you, you dont even wash him! I talked to your boat just yesterday and hes mad as shit man Link, get your shit together

[@snuurtje]

people actually clean their tires? What the actual fuck... Id rather be driving.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Cleaning tires and adding tire shine makes any car look WAYY better. Even my fucking corolla looks less-shitty with shiny black tires.

[@shamnampatandy]

Clean tyres adds a good 5-6bhp.

[@mikezinski6968]

nice shiny tires make a car look better

[@winemandinem2338]

I'd rather be driving with tires that look good

[@KathleenLeah]

Forrest Gump Just don't user Armorall or you'll dry them out over time. www.productioncarcare.com/videos/like_equal.swf

[@arnakdanielian1038]

I've learned a lot watching all of the videos that he's uploaded, its funner than GAME OF THRONES!!!! Microfiber Towels for life.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks for the kinds words!

[@fitguyonline1502]

lol... could people actually just make a video where they clean a dirty'ish car, instead of a car that's already show room ready, and maintained for show room quality? I have cars with over 100,000 miles... 1 with 275,000 miles.... So real world application of cars that are already worn would be nice

[@dixinormus3282]

Lets say you have a car with layers dirt and mud ect. First thing your supposed to do is rinse it with water or a foam cannon to loosen up dirt so it wont scratch, then you clean it how they show you in the videos, you're not going to try and use spray wax on a dirty car

[@gcg8187]

Fit Guyonline have you not washed ur car for 275,000 miles? LOL you would do the same steps bro

[@luckysevens1000]

I should've thought of that. I did a full wash without water the other weekend

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

This guy has done that lol

[@hayze3143]

I pretty much do that for a living would people watch that stuff? I've thought about making videos but I dont want to just preech to an empty room. facebook.com/pg/MandMMobile is our facebook page if you look at the photos the black silverado was probably the shittiest paint ive seen that ended up looking that good in the end. Also we did it in the guys driveway.

[@naegleriafowleri76]

of course, he is going to recommend his products and bash the other ones lmao

[@bravo7468]

dont buy his products then, check out adams polishes

[@casperlow2642]

The brightly coloured soap he used in the video is a Meguiars NXT car shampoo.

[@munkee221]

you realize when you watch his videos he never bashes products by name and he always gives examples throughout his vids of competitor products and how well they work....if you watched more of his videos you would realize how erong you are

[@naegleriafowleri76]

John Madeja would never take advice from someone trying to sell something

[@maxastakhov3370]

He literally never promotes his products...but for the record, they're amazing. Worth every penny

[@MattyD209]

Very helpful video! After testing myself, the only thing I failed on throughout the video was the dashboard cleaning. Two thing that I think are worth mentioning: -Know what your wheels are made of. (using chrome wheel cleaner on polished aluminum wheels can mean DISASTER) -Make sure you are using an ammonia free cleaner on the inside of your glass if your windows are tinted. Both of those can really spell disaster if they are not known.

[@bherron1984]

One of my fav detailers on KZbin dude is super detail need to try his products

[@nizmojoeblows]

avoid this 10 minute commercial at all costs.

[@MindBlowerWTF]

Only this bonus tip is actual commercial. He never mentioned brand besides the one product for dashboard.

[@nizmojoeblows]

so you represent AMMO and conveniently AMMO products are the BEST for EVERY APPLICATION? lol. This is just a commercial. I also like when you 'clean' imaginary dirt and then say 'look how clean that is'. It was already clean. Mistake number one, pretending to use the products properly instead of cleaning a dirty car. Then it might be difficult to advertise your products because they would have to actually work.

[@chrishahn2937]

The carpet foam cleaner didn't look like his product. He used lexol on the dash. He doesn't have a glass cleaner. I don't remember if that spray wax was his... But regardless he never once specifically named his products. He said he likes tire gels better than tire shine/dressing. And he said he likes to use a specific shampoo for the paint and another for the wheels. He never said I'm a big fan of AMMO brand shampoo that I make which you can buy at AMMO.com. Plus wouldn't you sort of expect him to use his products? Just my 2 cents.

[@manicbassa]

To be honest if you watch his own KZbin channel he is one of THE best detailers in the world. You only have to look at the cars he details to see that. His products do work as he has a big input into them. I don't remember him recommending his products in this video.

[@AMMO-NYC]

@jarrus464 Heavy compounds are usually needed on head lights. Bec plastic is harder than clear coat... U basically have to move up the "abrasives scale" to achieve any results. Email me thx

[@Guez_art]

Thank you for these awesome tips. I've had my car for 3 years now and the paint looks as good as it did when I drove off the lot. 0% swirls and I always use lubricants when removing dust. I learned a few more things from this video that I will try on my car.

[@mayinss]

Great tips... I will start using them from now on. Thanks

[@RoC1909]

Fantastic tips! Thanks for sharing these.

[@2000ViperGTSsubscribe]

Good video, for me I do have the take away of two buckets. Even on m higher end cars I have been using 1, but changing water and I ALWAYS throw my washing mit away. THANK YOU!

[@gav240z]

Thanks, I'll definitely give that a try. Appreciate all the tips.

[@Bajamug]

I've been sub-contract and my own detailing for 6 years, I do mostly luxury cars, this guy has good suggestions, I don't agree with them all but like any job everyone has their own way. I'm glad he took the time to talk about wax residue. I despise when I get a customer takes it upon them self to wax a car, allow harden over winter then bring it to me to for a detail. Hardened wax is obnoxious, it can be time consuming which ends up costing the customer more. And it looks absolutely horrible.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Love it!

[@heavymechanic2]

The past year, I started using Optimum No Rinse waterless wash as a quick detail spray. This stuff picks up dust and makes all surfaces look great in minutes. I use the wax formula on my wheels to reduce brake dust from building up.

[@kd6844]

Lots of good tips. The only I take exception to is the duster. I have been using it for some time on my black challenger with good results. Generally following it up with a detailing wax specifically for black cars

[@JoshA7fold]

THIS CHANNEL IS GREAT. I drive a 2000 Sunfire and this channel makes me wanna go to AutoZone and buy some supplies and treat my car like a Ferrari 430 or somethin

[@kvt617]

great tips. i will defiantly be "applying" them.

[@Garaculas]

Big fan of drive clean, keep up the good work.

[@AMMO-NYC]

@RandomTaperTV Good point, I will put that on the list. Thx for the tip

[@johnshares]

Great tips, thank you for clarifying.

[@Stratos1988]

I did work as detailer in BMW dealership and it's good to see that I learned there usefull things :) Nr5 is very good tip since spray wax really acts as prtection/lube/cleaner but bird poo (agressive on BMW paint) was first pressure washed than some 4800 rubbing compund and ultrafine rubbing finish. I'm talking about one week poo. Separate buckets also good idea. We used separate shammys for wheels and paint and rest of the stuff was paint specific.

[@sweetfordfx4]

Thanks for the tips. I never thought about the grit guard. I'll have to get one real soon.

[@Redflag_F1]

Great video, keep them coming!!

[@tavshedfjols]

Who would have know that videos about cleaning things could be so interesting (and the production quality of the vids is great also)

[@dartagnanx1]

Another great one! Keep it up!

[@rushnut2112]

Excellent tips...thanks for posting this vid.

[@LuisRomero-rd3ic]

Tapping the tire after applying the gel, good tip. Also liked the bucket filter.

[@brandonrogers8208]

I work at a car wash as a detailer, and im glad i found this video for tip #2 because we only lexol the seats, and armor all the interior

[@johnshares]

Great ideas / tips, thanks heaps.

[@LynneR1954]

learned alot! great video again!

[@fielding68]

Top tutorial. Thank you.

[@UltimateDetailingBoyntonBeach]

Larry always has great videos

[@Xfolium1]

Larry, your brilliant!

[@theseventhday]

very well done...a lot of ppl don't realize many of these

[@ibbong420]

great vid thanks for all the tips

[@PNeely]

Great points about how people detail wrong. Some safety tips in here as well. I don't think most people understand the value in a proper wash mitt. Cleaning windows is brutal. Great points on how to make it bearable. Will try this next wash. Thanks for the great video. Larry, you may have the best job in the world :-)

[@AMMO-NYC]

AMMO Spit spray wax...its self-serving, but it one I manufacturer myself. -L

[@jamesmclachlan4957]

thanx...nice presentation. Very professional.

[@W3ization]

I love this show its my favorite! Finally a car cleaning show, and its with drive so it is going to be bomb

[@WeRWun]

Great tips! Rather than using two buckets for paint and wheels, I always just clean the wheels last with a cotton or microfiber cloth.

[@christopherlane1244]

Glad you mentioned something about shiny products on the interior because I bought my mustang from the dealer and it had that goop on it for weeks. Had to wipe it off b/c of the glare.

[@UtiEdu]

Great information!!

[@Jbordetas]

Excellent advice. I am guilty of the wash-bucket as well as the damn dust wand. I detail my baby to release stress. I have a seriously stressful gig and nothing calms me more than getting my hands on my Z4M Roadster and making it squeaky clean. It's definitely a laborious endeavor, but... At the end, you simply can't argue with the results. Then it time to take it for a spin :) Thanks again for the tips. Will be ordering your products today.
