One quick ridgeline.....

No, its not a fast truck. Its just a quickie I did for my future sister in-law in about 4 hours. I am a horrible photographer so don't mind the bad photo's. I had about 4 hours to complete this while she was at a shower with my girl. The car was COVERED in sap since she used to park under a tree that leaked like a faucet. It was a one step one pass job, she was going to take it to a "high volume" shop but I begged her to just let me do it for the same price since I knew they would hack up the soft honda paint.

Washed with CG citrus wash and clear
Clay - Mothers with wash and clear as lube
Tires & wheelwells - Meg's Super Degreaser
Polish - PO 203
Pad - LC Hi-Gloss flat green.
Machine - Flex
Sealant - Blackfire WD using a gold flat pad on the PC
Tires - Dressed with Hyperdressing since it was all I had available.

These pics are after the wash:

As you can see the lawn is not like a putting green but more like a sand trap.

I really need to work on my photography skills. I just realized that I only took pictures from the drivers side except for 1.:out: I am doing this mainly to kill the last hour of my 12 hour day at work.

One of these days I am gonna try to take good pictures of something and do a good write up.
 
I was thinking the same thing Bill, but this Honda Pickup came out great and it shows it! Thanks for sharing it here at TID.
 
Thats a cute little "feller"
looks great now after you got your hands on it.
What is that light you're using and what is its purpose?

Very nice turn-a-round. Glad to see I'm not the only one that does not care for tire dressing

They did have a VERY light coat of hyper dressing on them. Figured it would give them a little sheen and it was the only thing I had on hand. But no, on my own vehicles I don't use tire dressing, just clean em good.
