Re: Detailers Confessional
I didn't wash my Trans Am for a few weeks. It sat outside that whole time... Worst mistake ever. I forgot how much work it took me to get it looking good for car shows.
Part of the time it sat at a repair shop but it was only a couple days. It rained those days of course. It hadn't seen rain in years before that

Corey, your vehicals are spoiled! If Mrs 07 wasn't bucking the issue right now I'd be out washing my truck in the dark and doing a full correction on her. My wife just doesn't get it......

Re: Detailers Confessional
When I took my car to RealTune Performance the guys asked when am I going to detail my car. The only thing I could say was "when I'm not working on other cars". Hopefully when it's ready I can bring it home and finally polish the paint and tie up some loose ends.

God damn it I need a garage! I would LOVE to do that. Unfortunately I need my shop to do any work. Tear.

Re: Detailers Confessional
Three weeks ago I detailed my personal truck. It has been on about 400 miles worth of road trips since then and has been completely exposed to the elements in the driveway instead of under my carport as it usually would be. It hasn't been touched in any fashion since the day I pulled it out of the garage with a fresh coat of wax on it.
Damn long-term project Mustang taking up my parking and my spare time!
On the upside, expect an "Extreme Makeover" thread sometime in the near future when I finally get this thing out of my hair.

Re: Detailers Confessional
My cousin wet-sanded his newly painted jet black truck with 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper to remove orange peel. He thought I could remove them. Hahaha! Joke was on him! I struggled mightily trying to remove not only the sanding marks, but what I believe to be tracers too. After three days and countless hours, I called it a day and left his truck with spots I was unable to properly correct. However, once I acquire the right tools for the job, I will finish it and make it AG post worthy. Until then I'm hanging my head in a bit of embarrassment over my shoddy work.
