These old classic cars are by far my favorite transformations, now it will look good once again cruising down the strip grabbing everyone's attention! Great job to everyone involved!
I just put the summer wheels on our car the other day, I know it will snow at least one more time here in Michigan though, but we have the Suburban if it gets too bad haha!
I had that as well with my first use, not as bad though. Diluting it a little more may help as well as making sure the surface us thoroughly wet before spraying, also the better your sprayer mists...
More then likely it is just trashed from horrible washing and drying methods leaving so much marring and swirl marks that the gloss is all but gone. Even a good one step could very likely restore...
Most of the store bought headlight kits really don't come with the coarse sand paper needed to really cut the oxidized factory coating and plastic enough to get to the good stuff underneath, I would...
I bought a little green proheat a few years ago for home and detailing use, it has been invaluable to me. I have 6 and 7 year old boys, a 1 year old daughter, a 2 year old dog, and a detailing...

I have detailed outside for several years, Menzerna and HD products work good, just have to be careful. I like working in the sunlight as you really get a good look at your work, but at the same...

I love this method, will never go back! Waiting for some somewhat better weather so I can do the headlights on my '96 Z71 truck. Those headlights are beat! 200,000...
I honestly thought your camera was messed up or out of focus or something with the before pics until I scrolled down and took a look at the 50/50 shot of the hood test spot! WOW what a difference...
Just read all 10 pages, pretty sad that people feel the need to bash someone seeking information... You work your butt off and it shows! You obviously produce quality results or you wouldn't be as...
Tried out the spar urethane / mineral spirits on a headlight for a car I just picked up. Snagged this car for $500, the lady couldn't get it running and wanted it out of her driveway... a half hour...
I have been using Meguiar's #21 synthetic sealant for wheels for a few years now. Looks great, super slick, easy to apply / remove, lasts quite a while, and I don't have to carry around another...
I detailed a 2002 S10 xtreme a few years ago, black also, had those all over the paint! Scared the crap out of me at first because you couldn't really see them before from all the swirls on the...
Spraymaster hands down easily is my favorite. I hate having to squeeze the trigger 20 times to cover one wheel with cleaner then rinsing out the sprayer so it doesn't destroy it. I have been using...
Yup! I have learned so much here since I joined up about 4.5 years ago! I am not always super active here, but this is by far my favorite detailing forum :)
