amazing transformation right there man!



Another case of why I cannot fathom why people pay all that money for car and then use it as a mobile dumpsite.
 
Sweet work - looks so much better especially inside. Awesome job on the carpets.



Question - IP on a yellow to LSP? How? The paint must have been incredibly hard; I can't even imagine IP/yellow to LSP on a Japanese car!

I used the simple green that is found in the automotive section at target.

i do not think it is the automotive one, that one is in a different bottle.

this is the concentrate and i just dilute it depending on how bad the area i'm using it on is, make sense ?? :o

I think i use around 10:1 maybe ?? sometimes 12-15 :1



is that bad ? never harms the finish of the wheels ( although i do test it out on a small spot each and every detail ), still works well for wheels wells and tires ( white lettering too ) and spot treatment for carpets :2thumbs:



thanks for the compliment

Hehe, no A Navigator isn't Japanese; I was saying that on Japanese paint I don't think IP on a yellow to LSP would work since it tends to be softer than domestics paint. :)



That's cool if it works for you; looks great! I was just curious.
