This is a daily driver that was in great shape. I only had to do minor correction in a few spots, it was mostly minor scratches :thumb: Thank goodness because this clear was as hard as nails!

Some scuff marks :shrug: Ohh.. that’s not good :shrug: I am not sure if you can see it but there is a slight scratch across the hood He said he is always fighting brake dust. Poor guy :itsok: I am just the person to take care of this :giggle: Interior was not bad at all :thumb: For once it was not raining so I got started on those rims. Now… which one does not belong. :giggle: There we go…. Much better! Washed and clayed the car. I took a pic so you could see I was only using ½ a bar this time. So.. stop making fun of me :rollingpin: :giggle: Scrubbed the floor mats and gave the interior carpet a quick clean. It was not bad at all. Cleaned and gave them some stripes.. sorry they are hard to see. Started polishing and got that slight scratch and a few others :thumb: OK… the hood is looking good :thumb: Side is done and I was able to catch the Ohio State flag in the reflection shot :thumb: GO BUCKS! Now …….I really hated these lower panels with the crease in them… so I smeared DG 501 all over the lower panels and removed most of the scuffs by hand. Then followed up with DG 501 on a white pad speed 3. I hated the way I had to hold the PC and the crease made me nervous. I was afraid I would lose control of the PC. But it worked. What should I have done? I didn’t get all of it.. but it is an improvement :shrug: I used SCG absolutely perfect polish by hand :shrug: Any other suggestions for next time? Now for the engine it needed a little work :shrug: Opps I startd on it a little before I took the before pics :giggle: I almost missed the inside upper part of the chrome in the grill :thud: I did what I could for the engine. I still will not use the pressure washer. Too scary! I know you guys love black wow but I still have some Black again :thumb: Wolfpacker saying never get it on the paint has me nervous On to the interior I caught that streak on the left side and fixed it already :thumb: Yep….. Jimmie I am using those sticks you sent me. Thanks again! They work great on the vents too. I wrapped a MF around it :thumb: Before After All done Before After Ohh.. got the tail pipes too If finally stopped raining so I rolled it out of the garage and took some pics as fast as I could. Ketil you better appreciate these shots because I had to wipe the darn pollen off even though it was only outside for a minute :rollingpin: I tired to capture the flakes :shrug: I found them Sparkie! There the cheap version but they will work for around the house....plus they are scarlet and gray....go bucks! :giggle: If you see anything I missed let me know. I will have the car for several more hours :thumb:
Thanks! :loud: GO BUCKS! :giggle: THANKS! Thanks again :giggle: THANKS! I said I was moving fast to take the pics. I edited it. :thumb: Thanks! Edited... se comment above. It was a pic of my new crocs :giggle: Thanks! Darn I forgot you from Michican :loud:GO BUCKS! Thank you!
Tonya..great job as usual. I love those wheels, nice amount of space between the spokes..what a blessing there. For the chrome with the scuff, I would try a very small spot with 00 steel wool and chrome cleaner, or 501. That is the most aggressive I get with chrome. Did you try the 501 on it? The 303 looks good on the engine too. This shot is becoming your signature shot (even though it was a BEFORE pic in this case):
Nice work Tonya. How lond did it take you, and when did sparkie come visit you. Thats him in the pic right
Thanks Dana! Thanks Jimmie. Yep..... 2 coats HGSG toped with AW :giterdone: Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks Richy! It didn't take me any time at all! Sparkie came up and taught me how to use a rotary. The heck with getting that tiny little Flex Wolfpacker....I am getting a rotary dude :rollinglaugh: j/k Thanks P1et. The car is still here :applause2: I am going to see if I can get the DG501 to get the rest of the chrome scuff :headbang:
:shrug: I tried the DG 501 but I am just not strong enough :thud: :shrug: oh well it is an improvement from when he dropped it off. The steel wool scares me, I have only used it on tail pipes:giggle: I will leave well enough alone :giggle: Thanks for the suggestion Richy!
