Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car (or in some cases worse due to seeming neglect on the owners part), but internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels.

I think any car that runs at least 2 seconds faster in the 1/4 than you’d expect could be considered a sleeper… i guess, maybe

it used to be available at harbor frieght believe it or not, but in the last 6 months i have not seen it there. its not at advance either. i would just go on collonites website. also an auto detailing supplier could get it for you easily. and are you sure you have the skills to detail your own black car? lol

This needs to be applied after your polish and before your last wax step. It also helps to apply this, then wait four hours and apply it again.

You need to shake the JESUS out the bottle to get it to turn into a liquid.

Remember, less is more.
