Looks good, and the weather looks a little better as well. What did you end up using?

It looks a thousand times better. What did you end up using. Looks so much better.

Thanks, guys for the kind words...
I washed it 2 times
followed by claying (Meguiars)
then paint cleaner (Meguiars)
then color x using my new PC and polishing pad (Meguiars)

I worked on the exterior for 10 hours in the sun and got burned. Other than that had a good supply or terry towels and MF

I have several vehicles lined up for detailing, in the weeks to come.
I'll be sure to post lots of pics in near future....of ''perfection.''

This is a common problem.

When photos hosted at PhotoBucket, or any of the other freebie photo hosting sites, and then the URL Address to those photos are used on our forum or anywhere on the Internet, and then later down the road the person deletes their photos from their freebie account, (usually to make room for new photos), everywhere they placed the URL Addresses for their photos will show up as either Red X's or will show up as meaningless images like this,




We offer free hosting on our forum for all our members, we even have a number of tutorials on this forum that show how to work with images on discussion forums in general.

You most likely moved them to a different album on Photobucket, or changed their names, etc.

Re: Before after trans van pics..!

Wow!!! I don't even have those pics anymore...
Done so many details over the years, took so many pics, must of deleted it...SORRY.....

must of deleted it...SORRY.....

This is an old problem, well at least as old as the Internet


All pictures must be hosted somewhere and the location where they're hosted becomes their URL Address.

This URL Address is what tells a browser like Internet Explorer or FireFox where the photo is located and then it's able to visually display it on your monitor.

If you change the location of the photo or delete it or rename it, ANYWHERE the URL Address was posted will now display a red x or some kind of generic image from the photo hosting business where the photo was originally uploaded.

There's all kinds of ways to get a photo onto the Internet and most of the free places limit how much space you get for free on their servers. So when people run out of space and can't load new photos they start deleting old photos and this leads to the problem.

Here on MOL we purchased one of the most popular photo gallery software available called PhotoPost and as long as we keep paying our bill we offer each member their own space to upload their photos for use on this forum.

And while Newbies to working with images may find it confusing or difficult to figure out the first time, it's really not that hard and once you figure out how to do it one time, it's pretty easy for the rest of your life.

Here's a how to article based upon years that will show you exactly how to work with images on the Internet. Not just upload them, but work with them and by this we mean cropping out the fluff, (space in the picture that has nothing to do with the picture), resizing them so you don't make people horizontal scroll, (Bad Netiquette), and then uploading them into a PhotoPost Gallery.

And here's the good news, if you read through this tutorial and learn now to do these tasks you will now be empowered to work with images on ANY website, (not just MOL), and work with almost any kind of gallery because they all work pretty much like PhotoPost.

Here's the link, read through it and then try

How to place an image in your messages


These are also very helpful and I use the software listed in both threads every time I post a photo to the MOL forum and that's a lot of photos...

How to crop your photo's using LviewPro
How to resize your photos before uploading


And there's more how-to articles on these types of tasks here,

This thread is about 2 years old.

Someone tried to bring it back to life?

You should have seen the before and after pictures of the Trans-Van, they were great the the Van was cool.

This is when I first met Joe as I helped him over the phone with restoring single stage, oxidized paint while keeping his time minimized...

Couldn't find a picture that looked like the one he buffed out using Google Images but it was cool, not as cool as this but pretty cool...
