catman600 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Those are some really nice clean rides. With snow rain ice in our forecast my washing is being put on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ls1transam Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I polished this C6 yesterday. I basically got it ready to be sold. This guy buys Corvettes with a few problems, fixes them and then flips them. I did the inside and then wash, clayed and a light polish. The paint needs compounding and polishing but he just wanted it brightened up. falcaineer, Red Rambler and 8675309'SS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman600 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Still a nice looking ride. Hope you sell it quick with that sweet shine you’ve added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ls1transam Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wet sanded, compounded and then polished some headlights. Also put a ceramic coating on them. Left that persons house and went and removed some paint transfer off an almost brand new truck from a hit and run. ??♂️??♂️ mc2hill, 8675309'SS and tlbullet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebuff17 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Finally was able to wash the truck today!!! Weather was nice and sunny temps got up into the low 40s. Went to the local pay and spray and used the power washer with clear water only and did a slow and methodical rinse of all the salt and road grim. Then they have an under carriage power sprayer that they use “salt-a-way” with. So again, slow and methodical spray of the underside. Ended up using their “tire and wheel cleaner” with my tire, fender brushes and wheel woolie. I realized I was almost out of tire and rubber cleaner and also wheel cleaner so this was my best option. Came home and used my foam gun and wash pad. Only did a detail spray dry with the Ultra Plush. Did a quick wipe with VRT on all trim. Have my trim restorer and trim coating waiting for me to get too soon. mc2hill, SVillalon, Rich and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 So this was really Sunday, but did a strip wash, clay (mitt...great tool!), polish (CP), and PS. All ready for summer!! And who says white can't shine?! ^^^This one looks like my car has a mohawk. the Camaro show, Red Rambler and Mariner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Really nice Chris. Love the paint on that ride. Not real familiar with Kias even though my son owns a Forte. Is that an Optima? I like it. We're supposed to get more snow next week. I'm so sick of winter. We had better weather in February. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 No full washes for me today, but did get quite a bit of soft road tar sprayed down the passenger side of the wife’s Camaro today. She noticed it as soon as we got home, and I hit it with some Eco APC and an old double soft, followed up with quick detailer of another brand to help smooth over the coating. The tar was still soft but I couldn’t believe how easily it wiped off the coated car. Yet another reason for the investment. Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMAN024 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 ^^^ Jealous. Snow overnight tonight into tomorrow here in NJ. At least one more round of salt on the roads so "Spring cleaning" will have to wait at least another week. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfire20 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I’m with Rich, had no idea the snow was coming tomorrow. Did mine and the wife’s SUV’s yesterday. At least they were fresh for the holiday parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
