ChargerMatt Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Man you have some cajones for doing all of that truck by hand. I bet your body is aching all kinds of aches. Very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looking good there! Great job Not sure how you deal with those nobby tires, but Dylan's thread from yesterday may be useful to you the next time around. http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/wheels-trim-undercarriage-engine-bay-detailing/17276.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryPolska Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Polishing by hand, is the equivalent of cutting your grass with a pair of scissors. Edited April 20, 2012 by AngryPolska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3PedalMINI Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 WOW! nice job, i cannot believe you did that by hand. Should we pull together and donate a PC to this poor guy? Again, nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacktitan27 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have a question next week when I wash it can I add the buttery wax and sealant ?Do I need to clay it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to clay when your paint needs it. The test to see is to put your hand inside a plastic baggie and feel the surface. Rough = Clay Smooth = No clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just a quick tip, the sealant should have been applied under the BG, not over it. Sealants should be applied to "bare" paint so they can bond to it. Glazes and waxes just sit on top and don't last nearly as long. Your sealant will only survive as long as the BG does, which isn't long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went one section at a time SW and right on top of that i did Revive.I did not remove the SW,just like in video that Dylan did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
