Lots of iron! Your car is not as clean and pristine as you think coming off the showroom floor.

I am mobile and come to you, but I'm based out of Mississauga/Brampton.

Beautiful work. So, you got to do a Scion and a Subaru back-to-back? Is it the same color? Any differences in polishing effort between the two?

Same color, a day in between. Same paint, this car was practically untouched by the dealer so it was in better shape. The Scion was quite rough... they gave him the swirl option free of charge. More aggressive polish was used on the Scion.
