MichiganSRT8

hahah turkey on a the roof? turkey and fried rice eh? haha sorry couldnt help it. But anyways what color it is? Ive only worked on 2 silver GT-R's and they were a cakewalk. But this is what I understand black is hard in the sense that swirls dont come out easily, but soft to the point you will marr the paint with a soft microfiber. Sounds scary but just stick to what works and test spots first. I mean I wet sanded one of the silver ones for scratches so dont be afraid, just be careful cause it is godzirraaa

Continued.. Present Unwrapped Hitch painted as well with other paint Clean

***Update*** Hey just thought Id update this thread, finished up the final steps, you be the judge of how it came out. Front Taped Up All Set Made sure to hit all plastic in back Thrashed Front End Gas Tank Taped Up Burnin' the midnight oil Finished Product Tried to plasti-dip front badge, but it was too hammered

great recommendations by rich. If you want to have someone look at it with a lift and a place that use Adams products I recommend taking it to Cauley Performance Automotive in West Bloomfield, I used to work there and we were the only Adams Distributer in Michigan. If you want, PM me and I can give you more information and give you some inside help and they will help you out in a VIP way. Enjoy your vette in the Michigan weather, its not even bad right now, id have my mine out if I had one!

I'm not home now, but I got a 2 huge charcoal/steel racks form cost co that have been amazing so far and held up to a ton of abuse. Between those and my walls will rubbermaid fast track setups it really helped me clean up our garage after my dad passed away when I was 18 and it was a mess (5 years ago). Anyone needing heavy duty storage setup needs to check out those cost co ones, they are solid in construction, you can tell as you are assembling them. Sub'd for more garage pics though, nice setups so far, cant wait to see more!

hahaha this right here. chase my man...

sold! Thanks Cody! ill have it out safe and sound soon as I can!

Cknox121 you got another PM!

PM's send and replied!

PM's Replied

All PM's replied, still available for that after christmas self gift now haha

nice! i should have snapped pics of the Testarossa and 328GTB that came around a while ago, rossa corsa single stage, great color all cleaned up. Nice pictures man, volvo looks great!

definitely an iron x type product. Along with a compound like new menzerna 400 fast gloss to coincide with microfiber pads for the DA (which we have seen pictures of already ). Or a product stronger for wheels wells, like a thicker in and out but not a spray like undercarriage spray, the product loss from in and out is a bit of a problem that I hear from customers. But this is all extremes, and little tweaks, I love everything now : )

No problem, soon as its on ill update this thread, theres a few more things I wanna square away anyways. for sure, that was my favorite turnaround too. Headlights were a pain, cause I didnt wanna fully go through the UV coating. Started with 1500/2000/3000 and it came out pretty clear. Owners asked me not to go too far, usually I would go from 500/1000/1500/2000/2500/3000 and finished with spar urethane/mineral spirits, its a bit of an overworked process but to me its the way I see it to come out perfect at the end. haha yeah, I am getting paid, I date their daughter haha. im sure Ill get a cut of what they sell though, even though I asked for nothing. thanks alot man! I can only hope, thatd be great if it works out like that. Haha not problem, bettendorf isnt too far away, let me jump in my plane for ya haha, actually my best friend was from bettendorf and think he's back there on monday for xmas actually. small world man, and i remember you had SRT8 jeep, even smaller lol.

all PM's replied and thread updated, still up for sale as a late xmas gift for yourself haha.

hey guys, just wanted to post up pics of a recent clean up im doing on my girlfriends families car I am trying to sell for them. Poor jeep was driven by a high school girl for a few years so the normal interior and exterior beat up was taken to an extreme. But all mechanical things are kep up fairly well as their dad helped with that end. After 2 busy days I was able to see the difference and was happy with what I saw. Process: -2 bucket wash -Iron decon bath -clay bar -tape up -wet-sanding/polish, IPA wipe down between polish steps -Sand/Paint parts -Seal all part, glass/paint, headlights, plastics -Interior pre vac -Knock everything out of cracks and crevices -Interior plastic wipedown -Vac again -Dress interior surfaces -Final Vac/look over -Last wash -Done Pre-Inspection Faded Wiper Blades Water Spots on all windows Nasty interior Egg in speaker grate This was in every crevice Yes....spider webs in door pockets Rear wiper blade faded This was fun, scrape down side from pulling into garage. Interior not horrible, but not great Pine tree fun All taped up Wipers taped, ready to be sprayed Rear wiper needed attention as well Driver side headlight hit by egg, wetsanded and polished back out with what time I had. Passenger headlight during sanding Door had a few large scratches as well Wipers painted Egg removed with toothbrush Scrape gone, small dents left but much better Tails cleaned up Wheels and tires nasty All cleaned up Headlights nice and clear now Rear wiper top view sprayed Rear cleaned up Dash cleaned and dressed Final glamour shot with my jeep making a cameo Found a new front bumper at 50 local so that nasty one will be gone. and should complete the look.

PM's sent out, as of now still available with people in line replied too.

Sale pending, #1 Jmorlan, #2 GaryW. Get back to everyone else as sale develops.

no problem, well since I had picked up my flex pe-14-2 a while back I have found less time with my 3401 in my hands. Working in a high volume shop with high end Ferrari and other brands had forced me to learn different techniques and ways to avoid holograms but still increasing speed of completion. Dont get me wrong the 3401 is a great machine, but as I have dove deeper into wet sanding and paint mechanics in the last year I have become used to things that my pe can do but the 3401 cannot at the same speed. I also wanna help someone upgrade right before xmas here, I really dont need to get rid of it as there are still a few things I use it for, but I figured this is how I got mine and I know someone else should get a good deal on it like I did. got your PM, PM'd back.

thanks man, know you can always return it and buy mine if you havent used it haha, jk haha. thanks though, just lookin for a good home for my flexxy.

Hey guys, thought I'd throw my flex up on here as I have no use for it anymore and I know that many people on here are always looking to upgrade from the porter cable. This deal is for you if that is the case, this machine has worked great for me for 10+ corrections and keeps working like a beast. Has a few battle wounds on the top from being set down on concrete, but has nothing to do with the function of the machine, you will just add more too it anyways while you sit it down. Along with the machine 2 orange pads and 2 white pads will be part of the deal and included. Good time for a last minute gift for a fellow detailer or a gift for yourself haha. After the last correction I completed on my car Asking $275 shipped

welcome! what kind of wheels were those on your STi? braid?

shipment on its way!

go for the new 6.4 and you wont go back, or wait for the 'cuda to come out which is rumored to come with a factory supercharger, not for the power but the warranty aspect. the 5.7 is nice but power is addictive . nice looking mustang though man, I went and drove a new GT and it wasnt a slouch, especially for the price.

Welcome man! good to hear of more Michigan people making their way over here! If you ever need a question don't be afraid to ask, and I know Traverse City is a long way from West Bloomfield but if you ever need an order just let me know and I can help a fellow Michiganian out. welcome again and post up some pics of the chevelle and sierra! haha
