    Sorry steve I meant sheeting action when rinsing off as carguy mentioned.



    When the paint has a good coating of fave waxc/sealant it leaves smaller droplets is all then a say a sandpapered finish would but, sheeting can be done.

    oh, okay. But there still is a difference between the sheeting in Klasse (after sheeting it leaves beads behind) versus sheeting where the water looks like it dissolves onto the paint (that`s how we know the Klasse isn`t there should you need to look for it)

    Here it is

    He couldn`t believe it was his car.

    This is what he said here at TID

    "Hello Everyone,

    I am the guy with the NOW beautiful Nissan. I can`t say enough good things about Barry. He is honest, intelligent, knowledgeable. patient, talented and willing to share is knowledge. I am extremely pleased with how the car turned out and Barry even put extra time into the car and cut me a great deal. I also got many cleaning tips and product recommendations. Hell, he even threw in a MF cloth and some extra cleaners to help me keep the car looking great in between details.

    Thanks again Barry, and I would recommend anyone in the entire NJ area to give him a call. He did a great job and is worth traveling for. If anyone wants to ask me questions (as a customer) I would be happy to answer."

    Great results. I have found Ford paint jobs to be one of the most challenging paints to revive. Seems like their paint is on the soft side.

    BTW, everything on that Explorer looks awesome "except" for that rusty ball hitch. lol

    The worst one I had was a Ford ThunderBird 1976 and someone was shot in it. I just walk away because it was to much for me to handle back then in 76.

    Well this isn`t the worst one I`ve ever done but it`s up there on the list and I actually took some pics. This is when I was still doing some dealer work and they really don`t say much other than they think it costs too much.

    X_XIt really is amazing and appalling what people do to their cars!

    I had this one old camper van I was detailing and found a bunch of dead baby mice! I was so grossed out!

    Then I had this woman tell me she just posioned some mice in her jag and told me to be careful that they may still be alive somewhere
