Very nice job, Gary! I love that reflection shot!
I know how hard it is to get on white, I had a white car before.

Only one question, - why would you want to use Lacquer Thinner on tires?
Isn't it acid based? I know it cleans well, but scares the heck out of me to use it on tires.

Thanks for all the complements guys. It was a lot of work doing something so big. I did a little bit everyday over about a week in a half's time.

dengood1, I have another house in Georgia and I use it to haul stuff including cars back and forth from FL to GA. I also get my Lambo serviced in Orlando and I take in up there in the trailer.

Surfer, When I posted the pictures I new you would have something to say about the Ferrari stickers on the side. They were just some stickers I had and thought I would put them on. I have some nice self stick Alumium Plates with Lamborghini written in script I have been meaning to put on it. If you have some bull stickers I will be happy to put them on.

ehuth1, The PC works find on the trailer and really saves you a lot of time on something so big. The paint on trailers is very thin compared to a car. I would be scared to use a rotary on it. I would also not use anything to abbrasive on it. The paint had a lot of embeded dirt in it. The AIO did a nice job cleaning up the paint before I applied sealant and wax.

supercharged, I have been using Lacquer thinner on tires for years without any problems. It does a great job getting the tires really clean. It also works great on white lettering. You will be amazed at how much dirt and stuff is still on you tires after scrubing them very well with only soap. I first wash the tires with soap and water, clean them with laquer thinner and them wash them right away with soap and water again. After that the tires look good without even applying a tire dressing.

Thanks to all the forum members who have sugguested using Poorboy's Natty Blue and EX-P. I really like the Natty's Blue. I usually use Wolfgand DGPS and do think I like it better then the EX-P. It leaves the paint a lot more slick and is acutally cheaper if you get a 128oz bottle.

You have to be kidding me! That thing looks awesome!

You need an awesome custom paint job or vinyl graphics on it now to stand out with your cars!

Thanks for you complement Justin. I have thought about having it custom painted. Right now I usually keep it on some commercial property I have. I worry about making it look to good so someone might want to break into it thinking there's valuable stuff inside.

JSR, I thing you would have trouble getting your boat inside of the trailer. I have put my Jet Ski with trailer in the trailer and pulled it up to Georgia along with a bunch of other stuff. That's currently my Jet Ski Trailer you see in it now. The jet ski and trailer is easy to pull into the trailer by hand. I think a boat could give you a problem.

Nah! back it down a launch ramp and drive the boat in. That thing is so shiny and slick the water won't dare touch it Might have to do a reverse cadillac roof on it though. Just needs to be 8'6" wide at the doors.
Awesome job on that thing
