    I like how Guru isn't afraid to break the so called unwritten rules to achieve the best realistic results.
    Great stuff as always

      @CarCleaningGuru  ปีที่แล้ว +55

      If a vehicle has been left neglected for so long the rules often have to go out of the window in order to get things done. Pampering genuinely deeply ingrained old surfaces will get you nowhere in my experience!

    That fiberglass top is very very difficult to maintain and imo needs a coat of clear coat to be more easy to wash because it's a very porous material.
