    For next time: If you have a steam wand/cleaner, use that to remove the tint. It makes even the most crusty tint peel without any adhesive left behind.

    The side skirts look great and that turtle wax black finish is a very good inexpensive fix that looks and works good. You will have to re-coat them in about a year depending on weather and usage.

  • @brandonmulford5524

These cars are amazing and deserve to be put back on the road at every opportunity. This has been a great project and you deserve accolades for the excellent job you have done.
