Looks awesome! Its amazing what a little elbow grease does for a paint job :cheers:

 

 

Thanks steven! yeah i used to do a mobile detail business so every now and then bust out some of the waxes. i been waiting to see this color come out...it is nice!!!

 

Sorry moderators i guess this thread needs to be moved to the apreance and care section...i couldnt find it earlier

oh little quick tip. notice the tape around those black flairs ...when buffing no matter how good you are or want to be...your going to slip and burn wax into those pores of that plastic so better to keep that stuff from getting gunk all over it.

 

i could of taped the whole flair but the compound i was using is more of a liquid that wont fling abbrasives like some other products . for example 3m perfect it 3 has abbrasives and will fling wet sandy residue that can also cause more cleaner for when your done your job. when doing a more aggressive job where oxidation is in the mix you will need to tape EVERYTHING...keep those door jams from becoming a mess...this will create a cleaner job later on down the road.

 

for this job i used a combination of a few products..GLiptone #2 compound...aka more of a glaze then went over that with there #3 hand polish...wich can also be applied by machine. trick to keeping down swirls is good product and "start with a machine end with a machine" so if you buff compound on ...never put your hand on the car again only use a random orbit polisher to remove wax. microfiber towel at the end to get rid of any dust

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
