my first detail job after joining the forum (pics)

here's my dads explorer. i didn't recieve my klasse on the day i did this, so i used my meguirs stuff.

i did the whole dawn, clay bar, car wash, polish x 2, and then carnuba wax x 2 deal.





oh, and taking pictures isn't my best talent. i still have to learn what angles give good results.

i figured i'd throw in this last pic to see what you all think. it's of my ''porte cochere'' i wash the cars under there and usually wax and everything else under it, cause my garage is full of junk.

Wow! Excellent pics! The paint looks like a mirror. The hard work paid off.

Hard to say it will look better but probably a bit different and should last longer.

Those pics look great man. You have passed your first test as an Autopian. If you think it looks good now, then wait till you get some Klasse on it.

thanks guys. lol. i'm tempted to try the klasse on it. i just did the klasse on my 2k1 maxima, only one coat of sg, and i don't think i did it right, cause i didn't let it cure long enough.

but once the weather clears up, i'll coat it with sg and let it cure right this time.

now i know what people are talking about when applying this stuff. lol. it's hard to tell where you went already. but i just pretended like it was there, and i didn't worry.

Yeah. Klasse is sort of a "if you can see it then you are using too much" type of thing based on what I've read. I can't wait to get a hold of some. Your truck looks really good.

thanks everyone. i hope i don't get addicted though, lol. my friends are making fun of me already.

oh, and i like my house too, it's kinda of a pain cause i have to cut the grass, and then all the dirt gets kicked up and onto the cars. but when my mom is home she cuts the grass and i really don't mind anymore.
