Buttery wax is very forgiving when it comes time to buff it out with the microfiber.

 

As long as it is dry to the touch

hmm sounds good, sounds like i just have to wait for it to dry longer, and not apply as much!

Try putting it on even thinner and waiting longer. What you are seeing is that the wax has not fully cured, waxes contain solvents that give it the ability to be spread, liquid wax has even more than a paste (most cases). You are just seeing some spots where the solvents have not fully evaporated. Try doing what I do, put it on and go have lunch then go back and take it off. But the key is getting it really thin

 

 

And don't be worried about leaving it on too long, it's not like a paste wax

hmm maybe i just wasnt waiting long enough. sounds good ill give it a try!

If you found Buttery Wax hard to get off you are either putting way way way too much on or not letting it cure long enough.

i would let it dry for about 10 minutes? it seemed to leave dark streaks in the paint if i didnt rub really hard for a while on the spots.

Sweet flex shots, don't you just love how easy Buttery Wax is to use?

actually, i found it to be quite a PITA! i couldnt get all of the wax off without using DS. it would leave a sligh mark in the paint that could be noticed only in the glare.

Sorry jordan i meant to say 380,000

holy crap...

Okay thanks, I have a while to go to run into problems. Just hit 61,000. I knew one person that had a two door tahoe and he ran it to 38,00 before the transmission went out.

wow, ive got 190,000 on mine with Original Motor/Transmission

Thanks

no problem, hey if you have any problems with the ol Vortec, let me know i know a good amount!

Both

i got the marker lights off ebay somewhere. and i got the grille lights at a truck stop on the highway!

Here is a good spoof on the Ken Block vids.

that was intense!

i did my fathers front seats the other day. hes a chain-smoking, hard working, man. So the seats were absolutley FILTHY. i applied the cleaner and actually used a hard-bristle brush the scrub the leather. worked really well and got in all of the cracks also!

HEy jordan where did you get the lights. And also i am looking for a rear bumber for mine so if you find something let me know.

the marker lights or the ones in the grill?

No idea on the first once since I did it in sections. I was borrowing while my truck was at groundforce. The second one took me 9 hours with my gf doing the interior.

wow! sounds like a full day!

What did you do for the H2s and how long did each thing take you? I'm trying to work faster or more efficiently but it's hard. I'm used to taking my time and making it perfect. I don't want to over charge just because I work slower.

thats exactly how i feel, i dont want to over charge somebody just because taking my time means it will come out better. But i guess depending on how bad the car is, the longer it will physically take. ie. scrubbing/cleaning/working the paint. Rushing never seemed to help with me. always omes out horrible. thats why i always will start a full detail in the morning, therefore i dont have to rush because of the sun as much.

Hey Frank,

 

I was thinking more of polishing than cleaning.

 

I can buy a good soft paint brush at the hardware store to clean, but my thought was an easier way to polish the lug nut & tight area on the wheel around the lug nut. So, I suggested something like a socket shape lined with MF that you could spin with a drill dabbing metal polish on the MF lined socket.

i know exactly what your talking about. maybe if you take a peice of PVC Pipe and glue some microfiber to the inside/outside. and some how rig a stick to it to allow it to be attached to the drill??

I cant wait for junkman to maybe take a look at my paint. its an absolute perfect example of how bad the "average" person can damage their paint in 2 years. and black makes it stand out even more!

all set for saturday the 22nd at 1 pm firehouse has been reserved

i might go, dont know when or IF im going back to school around then..

lol, It seemed like the best response at the time.

it was a good one!

Wow I didn't realize how many more views this thread has than the other ones in it's section. It's a little off topic at the moment though.
