    My Dad's cars.......

    After several months of seemingly good, but short-of-the-mark attempts to make paint look better via PC, I've finally gone to the darkside, and got a rotary. Since I did not have any other cars available to me at the time, I decided to play a very risky game, and redo my father's car (aka...

    My dad's car....

    This is a long term project/ experiment I am doing. The paint is hard laquer, and is about 10-15 yrs old. Kinda in rough condition up close, but my old man did not want me futzing about with any wetsanding or stuff like that. So I am doing what I can with what I have. Overcast day, and my...

It did not come out as good as I hoped, as the paint is hard laquer, and has a lot of cracking in the paint, as well as a lot of orange peel. No access to any sand paper, or compound, so i pretty much had to do with...

I don't really know how deep I plan to get into this (maybe just a part time side gig), but I do know that I will need something very soon as my dry vac isn't going to cut it for stains or heavy dirt. I can only...

    Cleaning mf cloths

    I don't know how you guys clean your cloths, but I had a chance to try Micro-Restore out. I must say that I like it. It really helps get the grime oils off the towels. It also leaves tham feeling nice and soft after they dry out. I did read somewhere that I could get similar, if not better...

    Focused on the Focus...

    The hood was in bad shape, but I stil manged to eek out some reflection. Most likely i will have to repaint it, since it suffers from severe pitting which you probably don't here. Still learning the new camera, so forgive the quality. Some other quick shots...
