Re: :2thumbs: 300c Hemi Refinement Treatment Barry Theal Presidential Details

Looking great, I love that color.

I agree about not dressing the interiors, I have yet to see any benefit from it. An interior should look brand new, not "shined up".

[Insert usual regarding bufferbarry's work here...]

bufferbarry- You sure like the Ardex stuff, huh? Impressive that you finished out hologram-free with the 1500/60 ppi pad, you've sure got the touch. Hey, I'm impressed that your water-mist method doesn't result in sling everywhere!

Glad to see you didn't have to wetsand this one, must've been a cakewalk compared to many of your jobs

Hope you educted the owner about washing so it stays nice for a while.

And I'm with you on not dressing interiors How are you about engine compartments? I hardly dress anything in those either, I usually just keep 'em clean.

[quote=HookEmHorns;1300909]Great looking car Barry! Great job! I love those hemi's, it's a shame that it got to be that dirty.



What did you use to dress the plastic and stuff under the hood? That looks better than when it was at the dealership![/QUOTE

thanks man! I used Ardex New Concept diluted 10 to 1, It leaves a very nice matte Natural Look. Its a water based dressing

You know yes I do like Ardex's 1500 alot. I'm surprised it hasn't taken over the industry. Its very very versatle. It cuts better then m105 and can finish better then m205. Depending on the pad. Even after a ipa wipedown it looks the same! I have had probelms with some polishes that look unreal then I break out the sun gun and its totally different. Ardex is a company that doesn't advertise or hype up anything. There a little different then most, but truthfully in the chemical line of cleaners. They have stuff that would destroy a lot of companies out here. Enough said before people start to jump the bandwagon and there prices go up! lol The water mist method is something that I will be using all the time now. Once you learn to control the sling its golden!
ON a personal level I never dress anything, but tires and wheels wells. I love shiny tires. reaallllllllllllll shiny. When doing a customers car I use a water based dressing 10 to 1 its pretty much water with the dilution but it looks all natural!
Wait till you see what I have coming next! Thank Bud

Yeah, a few of the current faves here come to mind and I bet you can guess what I'm talking about. No that's not a slam as I still use/like/recommend them, but the SunGun uncovers the truth.

I'm gonna keep my eye out for Ardex at my autobody/paint supply places.

Eh...I don't have your magic touch with the rotary, I bet I'd get sling everywhere

Great job.

On our cars, I like to wipe the interiors down with a mixture of ONR/Water. Gives a nice clean look.
