    lol..no nothing against the Trans AM, when I finished the paint correction process on the second day it was late and the shop was about to close but I wanted to get Vintage on it so the following day I would be able to give it it's final wipe down, so even though I wanted to manhandle the vehicle I just didn't have the time. I like the hood on this vehicle, has some fine body lines. Glad you enjoyed it doc :peace:

    With all those edges, that hood must have been a PITA to correct.

    Well the hood took some time I'll give it that, but it wasn't that bad, just took my time and took it one section at a time :thumb: The trunk was another fun area, so tight but I managed :shrug:

    Some very impressive work Nica! That Trans-Am has some awkward angles!

    Regretably HD Cleanse Pro is no longer produced, so if you ever see it online grab it because it's rare. I still have a few bottles my self but this stuff is hard to come by.

    Glad you enjoyed it Deep Gloss, it felt really good to be doing some paint correction :thumb:

    :nod: it sure has some odd angles but it was fun, odd angles make for great shots at the end :thumb: Glad you enjoyed it :peace:

    Thank you yukonon, glad you enjoyed it.

    Outstanding work Carlos! Did you rewash the car after the "dusting", I usually do but try to avoid it at all costs.

    Carlos...lovely job on that TA! Looks as good as the day it was new in the showroom. That colour is very cool...I did a Camaro in that colour last summer and used the A-B-C Valuguard system on it. It really helped clean the paint and made the flake just jump. Do you have that product yet? You should get some if you don't..I recommend it especially if you have a car with really dirty paint. Metallics and whites especially are helped by it. Good to see you in action again buddy!!!

    Glad you enjoyed it, as for rewashing it no I didn't wash it instead what I did was use compressed air, this shop has a huge compressor and extremely high PSI and it did a great job. The only painful thing was that when I was blowing the dust off it made shrieking noises that I really should have been wearing ear protection, made me think of you and the ear protection you wear when you detail. After the air compressor, I used the Zymol Duster to remove what ever was left.

    Gotcha, I need to invest in a compressor unit for my garage, would be a big help on interiors as well.

    And I have another big writeup coming with lots of "nerdy blue ear protection pics" in it, so stay tuned.:afro:

    Amazing work. Night and day difference!
    I love that color.
