BF WD passes the "white" test on Ford GT...

Beau,

You are correct in assuming that us newbies will get disillusioned. As in anything a person wishes to accomplish, it takes time and practice. We all start out as newbies, but through experience we can become weekend professionals. The one thing needed is guidance, and I believe that folks like you and Don provide that on this forum. Many of us would never try using Klasse,3M, or other high-end products if it were not for your posts. While I am not experienced in using these products, my 28+ years of maintaining cars will come in handy. I`ve always prided myself on keeping my cars looking their best. Now, I want to reach that next level of detailing. With the sound advice, and products, on Autopia, I can at least strive to make it happen.

Just to add my two cents....I am still relatively new at all of this, but the one thing I have learned is to give yourself plenty of time to do the job right. I have a Tahoe and in the beginning, would always rush to finish in time (whatever job it was) and it would never look as good as I would have liked. May sound obvious to most on this site, but the job always looks better when I am not rushed. Thanks all for the great advice!

Beau is right on the money. My wife thinks I am often crazy for spending so much time on a "car". Over time however, she has appreciated the results I have achieved on her 2001 Mustang.

One thing you do need is time. I have spent many Saturday afternoons cleaning my wheels, washing the car, and then...RUSH< RUSH...got to get the tires dressed, got to dress the trim around the windows....got to put one coat of Rain-X on all windows..know the wife is waiting to go out to dinner etc..

I wised up. I now wash once per week. Then when I really need to do a polishing/sealing/detailing job, I set up a date in advance.

Say I pick a Saturday to detail. Fri night I wash the car thoroughly,dry it and park it in the garage. Then early Saturday morning, say around 7 am, I begin working with the Porter Cable with a polish, wait a few hours, apply the AIO with porter cable, again wait a few hours, then apply the SG, and continue to layer on SG as the afternoon progresses.

This allows me time to really work and not RUSH. I can work out swirls, polish, and then seal in, all the while allowing plenty of time for the layers to cure in between. I have also found I enjoy the job so much more when I have time to grab a beer or two, and really "get into" the job.

Again, don`t know how many married folks are on this board, but I find that letting the "other half" know when I want to plan my "day of detailing" helps me have time, reduces the "nagging", and produces a better finish.

Most of you folks probably already do this type of thing..but for those of you out there with spouses who don`t understand the joy you get from detailing. This type of thing might increase your time to work, and reduce the "earful" you receive from your spouse about your hobby.

Who knows, you might even get your spouse to "catch the fever"?!

Too many writeups at once. Ford GT, Carerra GT, MC12 and Diablo, all with blackfire... I want a major discount on my next order for pumping the b- fire on the forums with all these hot vehicles!

Generally speaking I do not do exotics very often. STi`s, M3`s and a lot of Porsches are what mostly comprise my business (just a basic outline of the type of cars I get)

I recently landed some good accounts with some fine autos so for now I am very happy... and very tired. 5 cars in 7 days

Beautiful work on that GT. It looks amazing. More proof that BFWD is the BEST sealant out there!
