G8chick Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I polished one rim up. Figure I still have 1-2 months before I can put them on. Used SHR, FMP, QS, BG, Americana, and metal polish #1,2 on the barrel of rim with a coat of QS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G8chick Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'm debadging my car in the spring, ill leave the dart on the rear but all the rest is coming off, just need to find something that works really good on the glue that's left behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great and cleans up easily. Waterless Wash, clay bar, followed by FMP will look great covered with LSP of your choice. BTW: Your polishing job is fantastic! It reminds me of polishing my Cragars in the early '80's while watching college hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G8chick Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks! I might take that dart off I keep going back and forth, sometimes it tries to eat my towels. If u could actually take the front dart off I'd prob put Holden ones on the rear. And I spent 1.5 hr on the one rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Polished the headlights on my Frontier and on my son's Civic. Then did a full wash on the Civic. Planning on doing the Spring polish and seal later this week since I will be home watching college basketball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I went out to get the paper early this morning and noticed 4 of the sidewalk marker lights were out. Upon further investigation I discovered why. Since winter is hanging on and garage time aint happening anytime soon I busied myself with polishing the mini solar panels. First was a quick wipe down with Waterless Wash. Sorry no pic of the wash stage. I then taped off the faux copper and began with clay barring any oxidation that would easily come off. Then it was onto polishing with 4" Focus pads and Barry's numbered polish on the orange pad. I then followed with the same polish on the white pad. 50/50 before shot, this being the worst of the lot. 50/50 after orange pad shot. All done and ready to go back outside after a coating of Quik Sealant. I checked all 4 one hour later. All 4 lit up. BTW: No paper today for anyone in the cul-de-sac. Sick paperboy???

Captain Slow Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Today I was up before the sun and out running errands. I gassed up the G8 with premium ($4.46/gallon, dang Obama and his oil buddies.) Then it was off to the spray it off yourself place. I got home, pulled her in the garage and commenced to washing her with my method of Adam's Waterless Wash. Door jambs and underhood also cleaned with Waterlss Wash. This was followed by clay bar/Detail spray. I did the baggie test and it was marginal at best for needing to be clayed. This surprised me to say the least. We had a snowy end to winter and I was stuck rinsing the car off and not washing it. I also believe the Quik Sealant/Americana held up far better than I expected. I had a couple small issues to fix so I broke out the DA polisher. I started with FMP on an MF pad and ended up using that combo for the whole vehicle. Windows cleaned inside and out with Adam's Glass Cleaner and a coat of Americana put on before I called it a day. Tomorrow the wheels are getting cleaned with the new Deep Wheel cleaner. I intend to take each wheel off and give them a good scrubbing like they got the first two years. The second coat of Americana will go on followed by SVRTon tires and trim. I'll get the windshield sealed with Glass Sealant and then take pics. The interior? Well that's for another weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I did a bit of vacuuming and interior cleaning on my '98 F150 that I'm selling pretty soon. Need to get it looking good before taking pictures. I have a long way to go, but it's better! Sent from my iDevice using data nodes and algorithms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 My Paulzheimers was in overdrive yesterday, not sure how I forgot today is Easter. I didn't have time to remove the wheels like I wanted. Tires and wheels got a light cleaning with SVRT on the tires after they'd dried. I did put on the second coat of wax and sealed the glass. Not too many photos because we had company coming. Paint looks great for a four year old daily driver. Spirit orb? Lovin' that Sport Red Metallic. My older brother remarked that he'd forgot the car isn't just red, but metallic. Reflection from under the boot lid spoiler. All possible because of the great products from this company.
