I'm still trying to get head around washing a car multilpe times in a day! I drive things that only get washed when it rains. I've waxed, like three times in my life.

I concur Huzer. I mean who doesn't take pics? :D

Seriously though, I doubt the "corrections" that were made would show up on any photos-- unless we had some sort of high powered camera, and some skillz...which neither of us do/did.

The corrections on the front right quarter panel and the gas tank may have. I don't have any experience other than what was done on Saturday, but I was really happy with the final product...now when I feel gritty stuff on the car it makes me sad. I think I will invest in a lot of clay and Banana Gloss.

So when I clay, should I follow that with Finish, then Amigo, then Banana Gloss? Or can I skip that?

I figured 1-2 times (late Spring/Fall) a year I would do clay-swirl-finish-amigo-bg.


Looking forward to my own PC. Two large vehicles are in the holding pattern.

<>'s whip won't be terrible, but your truck will be....ugh.

Yeah, maybe they would have. I was very impressed with the progress-- your whip looks showroom...show, room!

I doubt you would need to polish anymore than once per year. Nor would you want to (for your paint's sake). Just keep her blown off....and detail sprayed up and you should be golden. Stay away from car washes, and if you do- brushless are key. Anytime you whip/dry your car, you're asking for swirls.

You can never clay too much and should clay before you do any waxing. If anything, wash-clay-wax when you feel your whip is extra grungy.

Nice.

I have noticed that the person who applied wheel wax to the driver's side didn't do a very good job getting all the wax back off:unsure:

Geo was kind enough to graphically manipulate the colors of my wheels. I am going to have some stockers I bought PCed a color close to this (a little less bright). Stock wheels in second photo. These will be my autox/winter wheels. 16".

Been there, done that. No harm done:) "Its a feel thing"...don't apply too much to start and make sure you wipe it off real gewd, Clark.

Light blue wheels? Hmmm...I'll have to see that in person. I can't tell you how much I like your current rims:mellow:
