Hi,

Dawn is a High Alkaline Surfactant, not one you want to use regularly, or even biennially. The Griot's system is a positive thing - one which Mrs. MNBoxster is going to bestow upon me next month on my B'day...

Happy Motoring... Jim'99

lucky guy...

The nicest gift I ever got from a female that was male-interest related was..well aside from that one ahem cough...oh yeah a book about Porsches.

your lady friend must be very perceptive, that is a very good 1st rate polisher.

this covers all the bases very well
