I was going to fake hitch it to the Tahoe, but I forgot....so....

 

This is as American (Yankees, Spider Man )and truck (Radio Flyer) as they can get right now.....so, meet my boys in their rig!

 

 

 

Cute kiddos but they're wearing the wrong hats.

Nice work bench

[RyanbabZ71]

yankees? poor kids

 

I started claying my truck, have the two front fenders, hood, and pass side completely done

 

I am putting this on then topping with some collinite 845. Should offer up excellent winter protection

And durability tests compared to black diamond or whatever you were using?

 

How is collinite on the Camaro. Im about at wits end on Ultimate Meguairs streaking on dark paint. The stuff lasts a good while and is cheap to buy, but too much work to remove. I'll keep it on Tahoe and Corolla, can't see streaks on the light color.

thats my chicken turbo i named her that cus she runs really fast and shes always with me lol, and tanks thats my first bench ive built im happy with it.

 

started painting the truck but i have no light so i left it for tomorrow

[RyanbabZ71]

I dont use collinite on the camaro. Dont need the long term durability. I have used dodo juice and its ok but I have switched to chemical guys Petes 53 wax. It is awesome leaves a "dripping" wet look

No. Sealer seals. It puts a chemical layer on the paint to seal it from the outside environment.

 

If your clear coat is having issues but is still there use the meguiars ultimate line for an easy fix. Compound, polish, and then the wax. I recommend washing it again soon after the wax cause it has streaking issues on well prepared paint. They make a buffer that attaches to a drill also. It will increase effectiveness. Amazon sells a full kit that is very reasonably priced, I'll try to find it

 

Its not very harsh so you have to really jack it up to hurt your paint.

 

 

Found it. Watch the price, I've seen it in the 60s. I just paid up and bought the griots garage orbital buffer, its pricey though but a great value and warranty. I use it a lot so its worth it IMO. Its on amazon too. And will get more use from the polish and compound with the right pads.
