We have this saying that a shoemaker walks without shoes. I bet this was the case here.
Now your van is a great advertisement of your business.Comment

Van looks awesome. Any pics of the roof?
Just joking with you. I'm the same way with my cars, well at least my daily driver.

Re: Making the van all purdy again!
Nice job on that scratched, swirl-infested paint! If that's how good M105 and M205 are I'll be a happy camper when mine arrives. I'm beginning to wonder if it will, though. That's what I get for ordering it from Amazon on the cheap and being back ordered over a month ago. I just hope it's the new stuff, but won't know until I see the back label, so I understand.
Hey, man, hang in there with that back pain. I know how that is. I hurt mine in 1990, was supposed to get a fusion during my first surgery a year later, woke up and the surgeon said he changed his mine while I was under anesthetic. I had severe pain, numbness in my foot and three more surgeries before I got a good doctor in '06 that did the fusion I should have had 15 years earlier. He went in through my stomach and I was home the two days later and have felt great ever since!
Don't let it get you down. As you said, the more you sit around the worse it hurts.Comment

Re: Making the van all purdy again!
Incredible work as usual, Nick! What'd you use on the black trim... specifically the grill?

Re: Making the van all purdy again!
Yeah, I remember that Accent stuff..... comes in a little shaker, shake it on yer grub. S'posed to enhance flavor in addition to getting your chemical levels up to snuff. I had no idea it was useful for detailing trim!Originally posted by Nick Chapman View PostAccent coating of course!
I've got tons of stuff for black trim but nothing that works well on a specific application. I noticed the 'waffle' style of your grill..... dealing with the surfaces around all those cavities is something I can relate to. Only the vehicle that's got me stymied has much tighter openings and a smooth surface. Back to Black is the easiest application, doesn't last worth squat. Black WOW does the best job but you can literally spend hours trying to get coverage and you've got to use WAY too much because you don't exactly have the rub-room to work a light application in.
Where can I get some of that Accent Coating? OTC?

ADS sells the Accent Coating. Very helpful in hard to reach area's. Spray it on, walk away

I refuse to buff the roof of this thing. It is washed and waxed regularly, but never buffed.2008 Meguiar's Batmobile Team
