I may have put quick sealant on my new Ariens rider.....

I was looking at job posting for dealership dealerships and most pay their detailers based on quantity output. So what incentive does that detailer have to take his time?

You are not joking. Going from a 400-500lb sporty to the 900lb behemoth! But I love the radio, cruise control, etc. The fiancee like the back rest and seat. We are both early 30s and hit the "geezer" bike early! I don't think we can turn back now!

Well it sold! I sold it for $400 more than I bought it for 4 years. It was my first HD so it was sad to see her go, but my Ultra Classic is so nice that I would have a hard time riding the sportster again.

Gone now are the days of drying the car with bath towels or cotton rags, violently scrubbing bugs off the hood, and other bad activities for car paint.

Thanks. I was nervous to try and after I got going that feeling went away.

I have always loved a clean shiny finish, but after stumbling on the forums I realized I had been doing it the wrong way for awhile. Well, after spending some $$ and time here and getting a HF DA, I went to work. I started with my beater commuting car as my test subject. Its a 97 Saturn SC1. This thing looks like it has seen nothing but swirl-o-matic washes its whole like. I bought it this way, so I am not fully to blame! So I started with my test spots.... Here are some of the end results..... I would say I got it about 90% clean. The other 10% would have been a bit more difficult to get out due to depth and I really don't care much how this car looks. It was just practice. Ok So the next day I get a little excited and decide to due my '06 HD Ultra Classic. I forgot to get the before shots, but here is the end results after some minor corrections and sealant/wax

Awesome idea. My shutters and siding are the same color as yours. My shutters look the same as yours did. The fiancee has not been happy lately about me ordering all these "unnecessary" car care products. Now I can just tell her I am ordering something to fix the house!

I cleaned up my sportster to put it up for sale. Did some light hand polishing followed by Adam's glaze, buttery wax, and another coat of glaze. My picture taking needs work.

We have a butcher shop here named Adam's. He does indeed make a great polish sausage.

Thanks Adam!

False-Just started seeing it again. The next person has been told they love their vehicle more than their significant other.

False. The next person served in the armed forces.

Here is how the truck looked after I used OTC products (mainly mothers and meq.) before I found the info contained with in this site. I will post pictures after I give the truck the Adam's treatment

Hello everyone! I found this site thanks to a truck forum. I have spent a lot of time the last few days reading and now have the itch to go crazy on my vehicles. I have always had the passion for vehicles but have been hesitant to use machines on the finishes. After a lot of reading I am starting to compile my list of needed accessories to do some corrections and cleanings. I think I have a good start to my list and a good plan in place to start my operations. I have a 1997 saturn sc1 (Its purple ) that I use as my commuter. This will be the guinea pig once I get my DA and all the supplies. I will then work on either my 09 Ram 1500 or the fiancee's 2013 Dodge Journey. Between those two the Ram will obviously need more work than the Journey, So I might do the Journey before the Ram. The Journey was bought brand new a year ago, so I think a good clay and wax should be all it needs. I am currently healing from ankle surgery so it will be a few weeks before I can even think about tackling a project, but it gives me a lot of time to read up and prepare. Thanks for all the great info here!
