SSR results-5 pics.

[tisteve]

I worked the hood on my 91 chevy tonight, here's my process:

NXT wash
clay
wash
SSR2.5 with LC Orange
SSR1 w/ orange pad
SSR1 w/ white pad
NXT w/ gray pad

Before-waterspotted, dull...this has a coat of mother's carnauba.

Another before-my reference pic

Washed and clayed reflection:

After the SSR phase-reflection. You can see the flake in this pic:

And finally a nice flake pic, after the NXT which sat for about an hour. I would've let it sit longer but it was getting cold and I didn't want any condensation to form on it. Besides, I was hungry (thanks to the SSRs LOL):

My back hurts, my wrists hurt, my head hurts. Oh yeah, I'm addicted I'm putting on another coat of NXT tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) and hopefully it can sit all day.

No full truck shots yet, I only had time to do the hood (been covering a lot of shifts for a coworker ) but here is a full hood shot, the best one I got on a cloudy day.

and an ugly mug...

ah, the lovely orange peel. I think it's about as clear as it's going to get without wetsanding...I can accept it for the price range of this truck, but {rant}I just don't get Hummer and BMW, 40k+ cars, being sold with orangepeeled paint :realmad: {/rant} Anyway, I'm going to hopefully do a full detail over thanksgiving weekend, then I'll stick some pics in the showcase

I hear ya loud and clear on that one. Actually, orangepeel should be a crime punishable by law - period. :gun_banda

Anyway, your work-in-progress is lookin' good.
