Not the tpypical car that I've seen your shop work on but outstanding results as usual. I'm always amazed at how severely damaged finsihes come back to life.

Phil - Nice work as always - Great web site, too... but oooohh those shipping prices to Canada. Why does it still cost over $21.00 in shipping for something as small and light as two microfiber towels?????

honestly I wonder the same thing too sometimes.

These were USPS rates or FEDEX?

Unfortunately I don't control the rates I just send you what my cost is.

USPS rates - There is no possible way that your cost can be over $5.00 for a feather weight package.

yes sir it is as we ship with tracking numbers and via priority.

can you imagine if we shipped without a tracking number and how many missing packages we would have LOL.

Unfortunately we have to ship with a tracking number so we can protect the customer as well as us the vendor.
