Wash
This car was washed over 5 times to remove the glaze off it.
First we used Adam’s Car Wash then presoaked again with W99.
Insane amount of glaze..Take a look at all that glaze off gassing after a few washes.

What kind of wrap did you use? How long does it last before it would need to be removed?
Beautiful job!

how long it last depends really on how the customer takes care of it.
