Chuckkilo3 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Awesome. Especially doing it with a PC. Red paint seems to fade like that when it's neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwag one Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh man that looks great. You should start a junk yard detailing shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony97gt Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oh man that looks great. You should start a junk yard detailing shop Honestly, you could probably make money buying fenders and hoods from junkyards and detailing them up and reselling them. Popular brands of parts of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECaulk Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Single stage red paints are notorious for this, i did a red 4runner last weekend whole vehicle looked like that hood, first thing the guy said when I dropped it off "Oh my God, its sooooo red" I need to post a thread on it, but my friend took pictures with his nice camera, but forgot the memory card for the initial condition of the 4runner Quick question though how did you hand the bumps at the front curl of the hood? Just trying to add to my detailing knowledge for when I come across something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to add to my detailing knowledge for when I come across something like that I find single stage always gives the wow factor once it is all shined up also. The bumps at the front curl of the hood? The rust bumps I avoided like the plague with the Pads on the PC. I gave them little to no attention though.

Osok Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If that set of pictures alone doesn't sell loads of Adams products nothing will. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I figured you did, i just couldn't see if you had corrected them or if you had avoided them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Had to give this thread a bump. The thread Kevin (MrHot88) started about the rotary and his mention of the upcoming detail he has reminded me about Joseph's amazing turn around with a PC and a drill.
