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.

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.
