Got an idea for a string of threads...



If you gota a grey vehicle, then post a favorite pic or two and state the name of the color and the process used.



This is my 03 Tundra, Phantom Grey Pearl, Mother's Cleaner Wax (quicky)

By hand:

NXT Wash - Clay Magic Clay - Menzerna's IP/FP twice - High Gloss Acrylic Booster to prep for FMJ

FMJ - still not happy (too sterile and polish marring showing on areas damaged from acid rain, hood, roof, trunk)

NXT Wash - Protect All QD dry and polish using residual QD (able to polish quite a bit of the acid rain and staining on trunk and hood,

going very lightly, still light micro marring)

NXT Wash - Scratch-X on the roof

still not happy (put a very plain light on the defects, good to know, a relief really)

NXT Wash - Speed Shine QD Dry (would have been fine concealment wise but lends a light hue to the paint and makes the car 'green') -

Not sure how this will hold up or effect staining?? S100 over NXT over SpeedShine over FMJ ???

but go to what I know will give some depth and clarity and darken things up - NXT Wax twice - S100 - then hand rolled to a glazed matte

Of course in hind sight, a PC would have been more apt a methodology.

There, my insanity out in the open for all to see. I like to experiment and just go for it. I obviously have alot to learn around town.

Also, next time, I'll take higher quality pictures.
