Yeah, it was certainly worth it!

I'd like to thank Mike Phillips for sacrificing a Saturday for us.

He was such an interesting guy - a certifiable car nut - and had 20 years of experience and great stories to share with us.

It seems that every car he's owned he cut the top off and turned into a convertible - even a 59 Cadillac sedan de ville. He also puts "big-block Chevrolet V-8's" into every car he's owned, too.

I can't believe how much free product he gave us all. The stuff must cost at least $50-$60 if you went out and bought it yourself.

He even took the time and looked at most of our cars and examined the paint and the trouble spots. Even used the paint thickness analyzer to see how many millimeters thick our paint was. I learned that my paint has been seriously buffed out on the hood (down to almost 3.0 millimeters), and that my front right fender had been repainted (well over 7.0 millimeters of paint).

He made the paint on my hood shinier and glossier than it's ever been. I think I'm going to abandon the Zaino and go back to Meguiar's.
