Finally did the Ranger


694doorbird

Question

Spent all of Friday with the Ranger by hand. A few things I learned:

1)Adam's product showed me more faults in my paint than the three step Meguires product I used before.

2) Adam's products are very easy to use

3) Everyone here is/has been a great help

4) DON'T use VTR on vinyl/rubber floors -- makes them slippery (see interior)

5) For doing it by hand, I'm very pleased with the way it came out.

6) VTR last a lot longer than Back to Black. I'm sure everyone knows how

Fords black handles fade to gray after a while. I used BTB on the door

handles a while back. It seemed to "go away" after 2 or 3 weeks. I put the

VTR on about a month age with no signs of it fading away!!

 

Here are the pics. What do you think? My camera doesn't have a macro setting that I can see.

Oohhh shiny! Nice job Mike, especially by hand.

 

I also have black plastic door handles on my Frontier. I was using VRT on them, but since it is water-based and I park outside, the dew would make the VRT run the first few mornings after is was applied. After some reading here on the forum I cleaned them with GWC to get some wax residue off, and was pleased with the way they looked without any dressing. I have not put VRT on them for several weeks and they still look satiny black, but I still have lots of black trim that does need dressing.

I do all my cars by hand and get great results. Your truck looks fantastic. Don't ever appologize for doing it by hand. With these products, you'll get great results either way.

 

Great job! :cheers::cheers:

Thanks for the comments. In a couple weeks I'm going to be doing my wifes car, then our Sable. The Thunderbird is going to have to wait until spring. Of course, if I did that now it would look great sitting in the garage all winter. Only a couple months left until it goes to bed.

 

Nice work - it's VRT btw haha

 

Sorry, I still get confused with all the abbreviations!!

 

Nice! :thumbsup: Now get some UCS to finish off under fenders!:D

 

I plan on it with my next order. My last order the BSG won out over the UCS.
