Thanks

Thanks! He and his wife were almost speechless when I pulled it out in the sun. They both loved it. Raggtop is meant for fabric tops, so if your tonneau is fabric, then yes.

Thanks! I'd be happy to help. Wouldn't you feel better DDing a great looking car than not? The detail doesn't wear off quick either

Wow you always make cars look better than new. Any tips on what's the best way to protect a car that sits outside full time?

As usual my jaw is on the floor! I always show my gear head buddies your correction threads lol. I do basic single step correction with the PC and usually Meguiars UC, and it can be pretty damn time consuming so I can't even imagine how much work you have to put into these jobs. Great Job!
