    Thanks for the info, I'll put it to good use.:thumb: I'll be looking for some of those Pump and Sprays. Thanks.

    Edit*

    I found the Sprayer from US Plastics Compressed Air Sprayer - US Plastic Corporation if anybody else wanted it.:thumb: lol, they are called compressed air sprayers, just google it and it will come up with a whole bunch of other types.

    WOW!WOW!WOW! Killer reflection my friend. I am sure the owner was ready to give you a big kiss after that detail. I love your write up and pics, I always pick something new up from you! Duragloss last a long time down here in the south. Let us know how long it last up there. Just wonder how it last in snow, ice and salt. Have you tried Folex with that new meachine yet? Thanks buddy for sharing......

    It's the Sparkmyster..he's back :hug: good to have you back bro, owner was quite pleased with this one...I told him I can make it look better (exterior wise) and he was a bit shocked when I told him that. Thing is sounds like he's going to be taking it to the dealeship and getting something else, he's not sure just yet though. As fo Duragloss, it was you and big Al that got me on the DG wagon :dbanana: it seems to be holding on prity good, I detailed a BMW a few weeks ago and the owner phoned me saying that the salt is very easy to wash of oh and I applied it to the rims as well and she said that washing the rims is just as easy as washing the vehicle...:confused:...I don't know though I need to see it for my self. I'll keep you guys updated how well Duragloss performs up here.

    As for Folex, you know I have some of that at home too :wall: and I never thought to using it...I'll have to give Folex a try next time I do an interior...thanks for reminding me Sparkie :thumb:

    Glad you enjoyed it buddy and thank you for the feed back, very much appreciated :peace:

    Thank you joe, glad you still enjoy the details bro :chest: oh as for Mike what can I say I'm a slave driver :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: and yes he's a great budd to have :thumb: Oh you should see the other vehicle I'm about to post, just working on the write up right now :whistle:

    Thanks for the help Calgary, very much appreciated. I was amased how fast we washed and clayed this truck. I'm used to doing all the work by my self and I have things timed and I was shocked at how fast two guys can get things done. Thanks for the help Calgary :hug:

    Hey Champ, I jus saw the one you posted I'm heading your way to check it out...can't wait to read it always love your posts buddy :thumb:

    Checmical Guys Lightening Extractor huh, sounds good I'll keep that one in mind Champ.

    Thanks for the feed back buddy :peace:

    very nice... those photo;s took with new camera??
    see you managed to workout how to do feathered borders...mind explaining to me how

    Yes sir, the new camera has come in handy. I still got lots to learn but so far so good :thumb:

    Oh yes the feathered borders, I finally got it man it took me a wile to get it oh I got a link that will walk you step by step to do it:
    Tutorial - How to Design Feathered Edges in Photoshop

    It's really easy, I was making it so complicated. I have Photoshop and I actually programmed it so I can now do all the pictures in batch, it's sweet. The only thing I'm still working on is having it automatically save it's self, currently after the images are feathered I have to save them my self manually and with the amount of picture I take it takes me abit but at least I don't have to do each picture one by one.

    Hope that link helps, if you still can't get it let me know I'll be more then happy to help you with it. It took me a wile to get it but that's becuase I was complicating it more then it actually is.

    Great work and write up as always!!!

    Silver is a tricky color to bling but you pulled it off....I really like 105 on sliver.

    I am always amazed at the in process pictures and detail you include:headbang:

    Thank you MotorCity, glad the write ups are interesting. I agree DG looks great on silver, I got another vehicle to post up soon and even I had to take a step back and admire the shine that DG left on it.

    As for the pictures, well you know me and pictures...that and I want to put my new toy to the test :chest:

    Thank you for the feed back, very much appreciated :thumb:

    thanks, what raduis are you making the feather pixels... Im sure there is got to be a easier way on photoshop cs3. Ihave my set to do borders/logo and resize in batches but cant seem to add the feathering bit

    Well the problem with the feathering is that you have to start a new window copy the image to the new window and then save it. Try doing the feather effect on one image, you'll see what I mean. As for the raduis for the pictures I posted here I used 12. Hope this helps Jayplay.
