    My Wet-ice Over Fire Story

    I recently finished my garage and was finally able to get my truck inside for a good detail. It has been sitting outside in the New Mexico sun for 2.5 years with the occasional wax. There was some pretty bad water spotting, but now that it can sit inside, it was time to get serious. I started with Black Fire Compound and a Lake Country CCS 6.5' orange pad on my Flex 3401. Once I finished the compounding, I was reaching for my BF polish, when I noticed a bottle of Menzerna SF4500 collecting dust on the back of the shelf. I figured the BF Compound finishes so nice, why not follow it with a SF polish. I did the polish work with an LC white pad. I then applied the BF Paint Sealer with an LC blue pad, followed by the BF Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba wax. I think the results are fantastic, but you all can decide for yourself. Additionally, I use BF Tire Gel on the tires and 303 on plastic trim and the tonneau cover.

    Thank you Garage is 32x32 Insulated and air conditioned, also has epoxy coated floor. Only regret is I could only do 8.5' walls because of local codes about out buildings not being taller than the main structure. That limited me to 7' tall doors. If the garage was smaller, I could have gone taller with the roof pitch, but I took square footage over height. I love the 32' depth I can put my corvette in and still have room for the Harleys behind it and shelving in front. Been dreaming of this garage for a long time.

    32 x 32 is a nice size. Good for you.

    I knew it was big by all the room around your truck.

    Very nice truck, and garage.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
