As funny as it may sound, do you know what detail brush you are using for the residue in the trim?

 

[imported_turbomangt]

Always use a horse hair brush rather than a nylon one, much more sensative to the finish, sometimes I lub it with QD just to be safe. Gary

I noticed how you treat the seals, headlights, and wood. Is this your complete detail?



What do you use on the wood?

If you're going to hand a piece of paper to someone, it should be error-free. While it's true that many people won't notice, some will, and there's no point in conveying anything less than perfection.

I treat the wood with a product called poly seal, it removes smudges and finger prints, while leaving a nice protective coating. I treat the rubber door seals with a water based dressing. gary
