So I figured as there are several who weren`t able to make df `17 that i`ld start with what I did to semi cure the blues. How have others done the same?

Nice job, very shiny. That said, Mercedes or not and at the end of the day it`s still a mini van. ;)

Actually it`s a mix between a station wagon and a small suv

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThey can put whatever title on it they want, hey it`s their creation and I`m pretty sure it started out as a crossover but it ended up looking like a mini van. Not that there`s anything wrong with a mini van, that is if you`re a soccer mom. ;) Probably one of the nicest soccer mom vehicles on the market.

I think most soccer moms drive suvs now. Mini van is now the alternative less common vehicle

The "I won`t drive a minivan" crowd. Definately true in our area. More 4 door pickups too. Dad won`t drive one, he gets a Silverado, F150 or Ram. Mom gets Tahoe, Sub, or other SUV.

So the clients wife many many years a go t-boned a guy who pulled in front of her so he now buys her the biggest vehicle with best safety rating they can afford. Lol. Plus it doesn`t have sliding doors so how is it still a mini van

Would you mind "sharing" some of the products and processes that you used in this detail, at least what you used as an LSP on this metallic silver?
Also, do I detect (3) black gallon jugs of Value-Gard products sitting on a work-shelf under the fluorescent lights in the background of one of the photos?? (Inquiring minds (AKA, "nosy people") want to know....)

I used b&s yellow with rupes 21 and rupes yellow on my rupes mini. As for polish I used sonax ex 04-06 only problem was I don`t think I worked it through its cycle all the way at first, was first time really using it. And lsp was two coats of fk1000p
