Enjoy your day.
 
You've been busy!

All of the details look fantastic as always.


:bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow

What were you using for tire dressing?


It's sad to see the Teg go.

It had the best looking red paint on the boards!!

But.....

I can't wait to see shots of your new car.
 
Great work....again I test and pass that a rotary is a key factory in getting the good results on a heavy swirled paint
 
I love seeing before & after pics. Great job on the details. I like the picture of the dog in the garage too taking a peek.
 
Sean -

Great work as always. Were you able to remove the water spots from the Acura??? I couldn't really tell from the pics. Just curious as to whether or not they were really etched in there.
 
I was wondering that too, about the water spots.

Also, on that CL, how do you handle the pinstripes? Just carefully avoid them? Tape them? Or polish right over them? :)
 
Nice work on the details.

Sad to see that immaculent (sp) teg go but hopefully the owner keeps it as nice as you did!
 
hemin: Thanks, that's my beagle, Buckley :D.

Jared: About 90% removed on the Acura. They were DEEP and provided some hard buffing for me (pad grabbed like crazy). You can barely tell their there.

kaos: The pinstripes were in as rough shape. I buffed them like the rest of the paint. He is having it removed and redone (diff color/design) very soon, anyway.

wystang: :lol ...I've gotten that before...I bought em like that and at a very expensive rate, too.

Ehhh, you dern young 'uns this day and age. Why, back in my day, my trousers looked like that causin' all the hard work I did out in the fields! :D
 
Looks awesome Sean! I liked the photo with Buckley peeking out into the garage as well....and you *had* to know you'd get comments on the jeans (I'm surprised no one said you could buy new ones now that you sold your car.....;) )

Amazing the transformation on the paint on that '98 Acura...maybe I need to find someone around here with a rotary to see if I can get the water spots (that have so far eluded correction with a PC) out of my Maxima...

Oh, and your routine for the engine detail worked great for me - will post some pics as soon as it quits raining here and I can take some.

Again, inspriing work - nice job!

Awesome work as always. How do you like the Blackfire Finishing Polish? Is that the same stuff that is supposed to be the repackaged Menzerna PO106FF with more lubrciants?

As far as the jeans go, they look just like the ones my son wants that cost $100...Dont give them up, you are in fashion!!
 
Craig: Blackfire Finishing Polish feels like rebottled PO106FF, nothing more.

The jeans are "True Religion" and were $240 (:lol:).

You paid 240 for a pair of jeans? I've got a bridge for sale here in CA great views of the ocean....easy qualify....interested???:D
 
I paid $75 on eBay, new. I would never think of paying more than $100, but that's certainly what they go for in stores. :lol: at the bridge comment.
 
That Saab looks awesome, the paint looked pretty bad and you brought it back, it almost looks like a different color. Great work! That Tahoe looks really good too.
 
Oh man - I really need to talk to you about the jeans! :lol- the fauxhawk too : - )

so what kind of car are you getting?? and what's with all the blackfire?? did you stop drinking the zaino koolaid ?? arf arf
