and you didn't render aid!

Great job Jeff !!!!!

 

Any after photo's of under the hood ?

No, I forgot.........little busy on this one!

This is job I took on for a someone. The story is the vehicle was inherited by a family member and it was left in bad shape.

These are some before photo's

after some polishing!

What the clay looked like!

The interior after some crazy cleaning and VRT

......and some after photos

The photos really don't do this thing justice. It was bad, my wife (thank god she was there) had to use soap and water to clean the interior and the water was black!. Then we had to use a commercial upholstery cleaner on all the carpet and seats cleaned. The engine bay was cleaned the VRT was applied. The paint I had to use a heavy compound after the clay because of bad scratches and old bird droppings (which did scar the paint). Then a fine compound followed by FMP then MSW. The passenger side head light was faded to the point you could not see the chrome inside. I was a long job, but the vehicle had sentimental value so I was glad to help.

Nice work!

Nice!!!!!!

I think my latest experience falls in this catagory. My wife's 09 Accord coupe was sitting in front of my mail box and the mail carrier let the metal lid fall on the fender. I had a cow! Long story short the post office refused to pay to fix my 1" scratch and it is through the paint. So it is in the paint shop right now getting fixed. I hate scratches! The body shop guy thinks I'm nuts for fixing minor scratch! He told me "it will just get more" and I told him "not if I can help it"!

I just spent so much money these last few weeks on supplies. I have to be extra special to the wife!

I wonder if you can polish matte paint?

Glad to hear your grandfather is doing well

As far as the thief, if hope a flock of birds crap all over his/her car after they use their stolen goods!

So 50:50 is the proper mix?

All you health nuts, live a little! What's a heart attack? Fred Sanford use to have them daily on TV!

^^^^^^^^your my hereo!!!

Very nice!

Ironic, just dropped my DS bottle yesterday, but luckily it didn't break. Nice to know.

I'm not sure, but that looks like capital raceway here in MD. It only shows the typical racer there.

Never heard of this before, but you have my attention.

Thanks guys

I just bought all the machine pads from a local dealer and they are not like whats in the photo's. They are smooth and don't have the honey comb look to them. Are these old pads? Whats the difference?

It needs a link..not working for me.

I bought yellow clay last year in Carlisle it seem to work pretty well.

I have a green apron that I used to use when I raced R/C cars. I use it now when polishing, but the pockets on the front are kinda useless. If there was one with pockets shaped like the Adam's bottles (and not pink and fuzzy) I would definitely use it.

This usually a dealer that sets up there. I met them last year. I'm also supprised they closed up shop on saturday, thats the big money day. I would think since they pay good money for that spot they would stayed the weekend.

Just saw the previous post with the explanation. I guess they need to come prepared!

Ship it to me and I will send it back with a handle (even if its a rubber hose)

 

 

I would order one, but I don't have the use right now. Maybe once I get the wife a Mustang. But my rims are 22" and only 5 spokes... if it wasn't for the rotor, I could probably fit my head between them

Dont think of your own wheels.....I needed this a couple of weeks ago when I detailed a Lexus ISF and the wheels were horrible.

assuming you are talking about the backmagic tool? that would help alot. that handle is the only thing good about that blackmagic tool

Actually the power ball, but you have to be carefull with that thing. I have burned through paint on wheels and you have to press hard to get into the wheel spoke corners. The Adams tool works on the cloth car wash principal using heavy cloth pieces the fly around with high RPM's. I dont think rubber would work on this idea, but maybe another plastic shaft.

I will never tell my wife about this.............I will never have DS for my self
