    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Man you guys are bringing me back! I used to have a serious Tamiya model setup with all the fancy tools and the complete line of paint and brushes. It was a great hobby and I even won a blue ribbon at the South Florida Fair for a model Yamaha R1. I even burned the metal exhaust to give it that "blued" look.

    I did a waterless wash with Pinnacle. I just remembered I did not do the roof. I usually start there. It`s been raining off and on all week, I guess I only wanted to do the dirty parts?

    also put another layer of touch up paint on a long deep scratch. 3rd layer so far. one more layer and it`ll be ready to wet sand and polish

    Did a nice wash and interior detail after my road trip last week. Rinseless with WGU, wipe over with V07. Wash mitt was filthy! Tires with opti bond, quick wheel scrub with OPC and tarminator(tires). Used OPC over all interior trim and used with mf towels to brush up all upholstery. Dressed trim with PBL leather/vinyl coat.

    Good or to have the car back in its usual shape!

    is that a K&N sticker on the h/l?

    interesting choice of placement, that`s a first

    the more I look at it the more it grows on me

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Groan. I used HD Speed and some Meg`s #151 trying to do a quickee clean up on my daughter`s car today, freshly home from school. I`ve washed it three time already and I can`t seem to get it clean. It`s only been washed one time since August and it`s coated with the Pinnacle product. The car is always garaged.

    It didn`t look that dirty when she arrived, but there`s plenty of new damage and it`s not as easy to freshen up as I`d hope I`m not disappointed overall, but I`m starting to wonder if I need to re-think my game plan for that car. I mean, I`m basically at the point where the car needs to have a new base line established and now the weather is cold.

    yeah not what I would do. he also added a couple of chrome stick on trim pieces that I cringe at also. other than some orange peel on the rear trunk lid, it`s in pretty good shape for a 2007. still a nice ride.

    Nice work Steve. It turned out most excellent.

    In my opinion that car doesn`t lend itself to the Ricky Racer look very well (stickers and add on chrome pieces tend to do that). It`s beyond that look. There is however no accounting for taste.
    A society willing to trade liberty for temporary security deserves neither and will lose both
