Well I hosted my fourth detail meet on Saturday, April 16. There was a decent turnout for the event, and a huge thanks goes out to Brent Gray at Dupray industries for allowing me to use the garage and for providing excellent barbeque and drinks. There were members from a few different forums that attended, providing a good mix for the event. We started by trying out the steam cleaner for cleaning up the rims. The Hill Injection does an awesome job at blasting away the brake dust and oils that sit on the rims. Here are a few shots of a forum member using the machine. Then I cleaned the leather seats Shot of the unit Then we did the driver’s side mat Brent showing the steam action End result Then we cleaned the headliner, we started with this Ended with this This is the towel after the first corner Claying action A little John Deere green over spray Checking the paint, good old GMC thick clear Paint Before shots, very bad, never polished, or washed with care Explaining the difference in pads Wool compounding After a few rounds of compounding Everyone giving it a try Some polishing Taping off the pin stripes The start Work in progress Finish after polishing steps The hood looking a little better, you can see the difference from the fender (untouched) and the hood. The truck still has a lot more to be done to it, but it was a good example on how to correct paint, and using different types of compounds and polishes.
Glad the pictures came out okay. I'm not a good photographer Thnx again Bryan for another fun meet. Thnx Dupray for having us. The Dupray steamer was very impressive. I wish I could get one after my current machine breaks.
love that steaming action? How much do those usually run? I'd be open to investing in something like that. Also What type of backing plate is that, I have my 3M grey one, but it has a big ole tear in the foam after repeated use..I was thinking of getting the CG one but wasnt sure it was up to par. I'm using it on a Metabo. Great job btw! thanks for sharing!
Geez wish i would have dropped in ! Why am i not surprised the Dupray steamer stole the show !!! The lifting action of the dark dirt on the blue towel is now my screen saver ... I WANT ONE !
Thanks everyone for coming by, glad we could help the forum out. Special thanks to Bryan for setting up a great event, he really knows his stuff!
