    Paint and scratches gone. (That`s reflection at the fold of the fender.) Not happy with the dents. Hopefully a PDR guy can fix them soon.

    Been slowly working out the swirls and other defects. The winning combo is Meguiars solo cut and Meguiars microfiber cutting pads. This belongs to a fellow NCO

    I hear you there. Mine is a short bed but I have to get up in the bed and get a platform out to wash it completely. I can’t reach the center of the hood or roof without the platform. In all seriousness, I can clean my Edge in half the time.

    Fortunately my lanky arms could reach middle of hood...barely. Took a lot of Mohs to cover it twice. Booster too. Will be interesting to watch the combo. Booster is kinda a `faith based` application cuz it flashes instantly.

    Was going through my coatings and was hoping to use GTechniq CSL and Exo V3 a go. Unfortunately CSL has gone bad and has started to crystallize. So be sure to use your bottle within a year as GTechniq recommends. I bought this in October of 2016.





    Here`s another. Just used this a month ago and was about to use it again. It has turned cloudy and started to crystallize as well.

    Bought a second hand set of Euro-spec tail lights for my DD (with amber turn signals which still appear red when off, instead of red turn signals). They were described in better condition than they actually were, arriving well packaged but with a fair but of scuffs and scratches. Polished with Menzerna PF2500 and IS1500 on the bad spots. Wiped down with Eraser and put on FK1000p prior to installation. Probably 85%+ solved. I haven`t noticed the remaining defects in normal lighting yet.

    Unfortunately, I started to clean up the garage for the winter. Most of the chemicals are down in the basement, hoses are dry and put away, and the faucets are turned off.
    However, I did get the new lights installed in the garage, and ordered 2 Gyeon silk dryers with the Sema sale

    Man you guys are having all the fun!
    I`m nursing an injury, I got a month or 2 ago, but recently re-injured.
    On light duty at work, no detailing at home, till I gain strength back in my hip.
    Just making plans on what I`m going to do.

    Finally got around to finishing the F150, trim w Gyeon Trim, wheels w Kamikaze Stance, tires w TuffShine. Coated last weekend w Gyeon Mohs x 2, topped with Gyeon Booster.

    I think that`s the last time a do a truck `for fun`. Deceptively large.
