He was in Lake Hopatcong. Sold it around 88. I think the company is still around. Not sure if it's the same though. I used to use it on my Red 1985 Honda CRX Si. Didn't last very long but made the...
Back in the late 70's and early 80's my friend had a mobile detail franchise called Tidy Car. He gave me 2 products he was using. One was No 7 Dupont Auto Polish and the other was Astro Shield....
I originally thought I would have to sand the area first. 4 pretty quick passes with the Rupes DA wool pad and correcting compound took it right out with minimal pressure. I thought the wool pad...
This was the rear one I posted earlier. That one came out pretty well also. Yes I only use the Jescar compound on the scratched areas only. I did the rest of the truck with Blackfire one step just...
I decided to tackle the scratch on the front today. That one actually extends from just over the headlight to about a foot down the side. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes mentioning the...
The reason I referred to it as a beast may or may not be a good thing. I didn't think I was praising it. I called it that because it seems really powerful and it never even came close to stalling....
I am doing the interior also. Thankfully that is pretty clean so not much work to do there. We are under a severe thunder storm watch so it's back in the garage now. Unfortunately the truck doesn't...
Thanks. I definitely don't want to open a can of worms for sure. If I did do it I was going to use my Griots 3" drill pad after the 3000 grit. checking it often then follow that with the DA. I don't...
I used Chemical Guy's VRP for the trim and tires. First time trying that. I really like how it has a more natural look. We'll see how it hold up but so far I like it better than anything I have used...
I'm probably not going to re-do the touch up areas. The only one that is noticeable is the one just above the drivers side headlight. In the future I might try filling that with a little more touch...
First time using the DA or any machine really. Hit the problem areas with the Griots 3" drill kit and cutting pad. Did anyone say splatter? Went back over with the DA then wax. Came out pretty good...
What kind of microfiber towels do you like. I have some that work pretty good on the exterior but if you use them on the interior they leave little yellow specks of fabric all over my black interior.
Thanks I am going to wash, clay, and buff with Blackfire one step and see how it turns out. Of course I'll do a test area first. It is a daily driver or in my case since I'm retired whenever I use...
I'm 66 years old and have had quite a few cars and trucks over the years. I always liked to keep my rides looking good inside and out. In the past I have always done everything by hand but the older...
Thanks. There are a few tiny rock chips and finding the correct color is challenging. I have sent GM an email about this so maybe they can shed some light on it. As far as detailing goes what...
My truck came with OEM side steps. They are not quite black, All metal, and a rough finish. Other than just washing them what could I use to keep them looking new. Sorry about my wife in the pic....
