SWIRLS BE GONE! BLACK is BEAUTIFUL AGAIN!

[kromdom]

Firstly, thanks to MIKE for hosting a detail day for HTSC (Harley Trucks of Southern California)...learned a ton to say the least. Special thanks also to 2hotford for his tips and to all the knowledge in this forum. The September special was just icing on the cake.

Here is my tonneau cover: Mike's HOLOGRAM HALL OF SHAME

Not perfect..but definitely better

another look at the SWIRL-orrific lid



BTW, that is MIKE's hand letting the world know the horror show I have on my lid

[kromdom]

Those swirls NAGGED, SCARED AND EMBARASSED me to death all at the same time. MIKE, I DID pay attention in class...look at my lid now:

Steps/products I used/followed all came from the detailing class + reading posts here:

Wash- Clay with QD, dry with MF.
#83, #82, #81, NXT Wax (1 coat), will do 2nd tomorrow.

Here's the hood,

BTW, car under the cover is my wife's 'stang vert and you guessed it...she wants me to give it the same make over.

WARNING: Do not get a black truck and then slap a lid on it unless you are ready to SWEAT.. A LOT!! Cannot imagine how much more I would have labored w/o the G-100

WOW, The finish looks awsome. I really love the cloud reflective shot. It's amazing the color change on the paint, it looks so much darker.

Great job! I also use the exact same method and procedure with the products you used.. I must say it just produces stellar results!! I still have to give #80 a try though. Hehehe! Too much tools in the toolbox!!! Hahaha! congrats again!
