It's a day that I will never forget and I hope nobody else does.

The hood is still not finished. The front edge of the hood looks pretty good because that's where I can apply the most pressure, but there are still spots elsewhere. I may have to give Power Gloss a shot since I can't apply much pressure towards the center of the hood with out it caving in and I don't have a ton of time on my hands (I work Mon-Sat and this truck is my daily driver). Let me know what you think... Brian

What compound would you recommend, and is it effective with the PC? At this point, I have made at least 2-3 passes with the SHR. With each pass it seems to get better and the paint doesn't feel rough, but I have spent hours on this part of the hood and still have much more to go. Thanks, Brian

Today I went out to work on the hood of the Lightning. When I bought the truck a few years ago, I noticed water spots on the hood. Soon enough I realized that the spots were not going to come out by hand. I think the truck was definitely a victim to acid rain, as you will see from the spots on the hood. So far with the PC I have used SHR with the orange pad, and FMP and RP with the white pad. I have worked less than quarter of the hood, and there has been an improvement, but at certain angles the spots are still visible. I have tried various methods with the PC, but I want all of your opinions as to whether this is a waste of time, or if I can actually get these spots out. The pictures are below. The first two pictures were taken while I was clay barring the hood, and the last three show the results from what I did above. In the last picture, you can still see the spots. Thanks, Brian

Oh, they're already pooping. Yea, I couldn't let them drown, and the hawks started to come in, so I had to do something. Where in Bethlehem did you grow up? Did you hear that part of Bethlehem Steel has been converted into a Sands Casino? Brian

They were in our pool, but couldn't get out. Two of them were drowning, so my parents and I decided to save them. I plan on watching after them until they're big enough to get out of the pool. When the time comes, I hope that we can release them back to the mother. During the day we put them out on the screened-in porch so she can hear them, so hopefully she sticks around for a little while. Brian

except this box isn't filled with anything that will help me detail my truck. I guess I will be doing my detail job next weekend after all! Brian

Thank you all for the comments!

Hello everyone, Well, after months of looking at Adam's products, I am finally an Adam's user. My parents surprised me at Carlisle and got me the Complete Detailing Kit for my birthday. While I was there, I picked up a PC and a few other things. Thanks again Steve for hooking me up. I drive a 1995 Ford Lightning, and I'm looking forward to using Adam's products on the truck. So far I have used the Car Wash and V.R.T. I also used the PC on half of the hood with SHR, FMP, and MSW, but it still needs more work. I look forward to learning a lot on this forum. Brian
