Nice cruiser! Could you please take some nice before, 50/50 and after shots for the Show-N-Shine section with a write-up? Would love to see that.

Good luck!

I will definitely try to get some before after side by side shots up

That's what I like to see. A person who takes pride in not only their job but what they drive while doing their job. If you patrolled by my house and pulled me over we could forget about the ticket and check for swirls and scratches.

I detailed a fully restored crown vic fla state trooper car for there training Academy. The graphics and lettering posed no threat as I skimmed over them with very little heat.With some common sense you will complete that no promblem.

Decals are no issue

HD Speed followed by Poxy is a killer combo that will last longer. Poxy is a dream to work with!

I haven't forgot about posting pics. Just started night shift and my body is still adjusting. Hopefully within a week. Thanks everyone for all the advice

Just use a soft touch...

Somewhere around here I have before and after pictures for buffing out an ORIGINAL Screaming Phoenix graphic on an all original 1978 Trans Am, the one that's on the cover of my RUPES how-to book.
