Dripping 2002 Dakota 5.9 R/T

[imported_fireberd350]

I must say this thing looks sweet! I`ve done a good amount of combos and this is by far the best looking. I`ve tried numerous products to get rid of my swirls and such with little luck (1ZPP, SSR 2.5, etc)



My combo:

QEW

3M PI-III RC - LC Yellow

3M FI-II - LC White

UPP - LC Gray



I am extremely pleased with the compound, it got about 98% of the swirls/scratches out. The FI-II was a great product but I have AIO and #80 on order so I probably won`t need to use it again, and the UPP is great stuff!



The pics do not do it justice, but you get the idea! Enjoy!

Got it cleaned up just in time to see snow huh? ;)



Looks good!

[imported_fireberd350]

Yeh tell me about it :(



It`s OK tho b/c everytime I saw it in the paint I would get upset, now I`m happy:)



And forgive my picture-taking skills, I seem to have the polishing down but still can`t take good pictures?!?!

whats 3m FI-II?

[imported_fireberd350]

3M Finesse It II...more specifically I believe it was called 3M FI-II Finishing Product. It was borrowed from a friend b/c I needed some sort of polish to use between the compound and sealent. I`m not exactly sure what it is, it mentioned compund on the bottle but was not aggressive and left a haze-free slick finish...maybe someone can chime in on the details of it. The results were great but like I said I have some other products on the way so I probably won`t need that stuff anymore.





Thanks for the compliments, it means a lot. I`m blown away everytime I go out and look at it :)

Finesse-It II Machine Polish

That`s looks terrific. :)



May want to enter this in the Extreme Detail contest...

[imported_fireberd350]

SilverLexus: Thanks for the comliments! I would love to enter into the contest and maybe win some free stuff but I don`t think this qualifies because there was nothing extreme about the interior, just really really poorly cared for paint!

[DrSauekraut]

Steve . . . Iâ€â„¢m speechless. That`s incredible work :xyxthumbs

[cwcad]

wonderful job!! no use being modest... you got it ...flaunt it. a piece of work like that is awesome!!!



and if that is not good picture taking give me some of that bad stuff...

please!!!!

[White95Max]

WOW.

I believe there are three separate categories for the contest. One category being exterior only. You could enter that. Good luck :xyxthumbs

[imported_fireberd350]

Thanks for the tip and the kind words, I`ll look into the contest and try to get some better pics.



Thanks again for the recognition everyone, that`s what makes it all worth it!
