Corolla from the bowels of hell!

Great engine detail! Obviously you use Ardex, but what, specifically, did you use on it (clean/dress)?

Big Leegr, Thanks. I use a hodgepodge mixture of chemicals from various suppliers, mainly: Auto Magic, Carbrite, MSI-TRT, Ardex, Meg's, etc...

On this particular car the following Ardex products were used:

"Details" Aerosol spray for dash vents and hard to reach places.
"Auto-Marine APC" Dilutable APC
"Overspray" Ditlutable heavy duty glass cleaner (for crayons 'n shtuff)
"Alpha Grit" Diminishing abrasive clearcoat safe compound. Used this only on the driver's door to remove paint and scratches around the dent.
"Stereo #2 Glaze" One of my favorite polishes. Very versatile, can be use with foam/rotary (as was in this case), orbital, PC, even by hand.

That's it for the Ardex products on this car.

My only question would be....

Ah, yes, Dr. Detail-- she IS cute. In fact, some several weeks ago when I was first introduced to this would-be client, she made it very clear she had a crush on me. But alas, I am happily married with 2 kids and she is miserably single with 2 kids. Then I saw her car:wait , maybe I could just..... Naaahh. Better off keepin' it professional.

What did you use to get the gum off ? and which Ardex products did you use if any at all ?? TIA

Rollman/Jerry,

Saturated the gum with 3M Adhesive Remover and scraped carefully with a plastic razor blade. As to the Ardex products, see above.

Thanks again fellas for the compliments,

Regards,
