Scottwax...meet your kryptonite

[breakneckvtec]

I have some swirls in my car and would like for you to remove them. I love your work but I prefer when you did it all by hand old skool style. Heres a pic of the car I need some work done on, there are swirls everywhere:

Just kidding of course...but could you imagine if I wasnt :scared



I think I may need something stronger than SSR2.5 and my PC....me thinks

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I think that is SERIOUSLY ugly! They ruined a perfectly good Beemer!

Although it may look like it, that is not chrome. It is paint. There are several threads on that car already and a few links to pics of the paint process.



Here is just one of the threads.

Here is a link where you can find more information on just one of several companies that offer this type of paint system.

Break,

Is that the bimmer that the guy from Toronto took to SEMA?

 

[Corey Bit Spank]

That body kit and fenders are so ugly

What happened to that poor stang? The paint looks like crap, but the Bimmer looks great! Seriously the quality on that Stang is horrible, you can see "zebra stripes" etc. Well, cool idea though.

 

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Why would anyone do that to either car ???? What a nightmare!

Is that the bimmer that the guy from Toronto took to SEMA?

Yes it is, and he's already got to bring it back to the paint shop so they can fix the paint

Let's get out the old Dupont No. 7 Chrome Polish and see what that will do.



YIKES! Sorry Sir!

Actually, it's kind of interesting. Not for an entire vehicle as is but you would be able to detail your engine bay quite nicely and it were to come in colours (red, blue etc.), you can add some interesting accents to the interior to engine bay compartment.



It also opens the opportunity to some interesting paint schemes (come on Fosse) for custom paint jobs on motorcycles, autos and anything else you might be crazy enough to paint.

That BMW is just an example of when someone has money and just doesn't know what to do with it! It somewhat irks me when I see people take nice cars and absolutely "customize" them to the point where they don't even resemble the original car. BMWs never have been, and never will be, painted in such a flashy "chrome mirror" color. This proves poor taste on the behalf of that owner.



Clearly, all that money could have been spent on detailing products that could have maintained a much nicer, more conservative car finish.

Boy, that is certainly not my taste. Guess I'm just old school 'cause this is a prime example of discretionary income being spent indiscriminately.





Actually, looks like it's ready for "ludicrous speed".

I've seen that thing so many times I'm gettin nauseated.:down

If it looked like it was more 'clear' than 'hazy' (think chrome compared to polished aluminum) it'd be gorgeous. I kinda like it

When Jaguar launched the new XJ they took a polished but unpainted car to various motor shows to show the new all-alloy body:
