    Ok this is my first show off post and I dont think I did too bad. Criticism is welcomed along with suggestions.

    The Process
    -Wash with Meguiars Gold Class Wash
    -Clay with Meguiars
    -Rewash with Meguiars Wash
    -Polish with Meguiars step 2 polish(1 coat got tired)
    -Wax with Meguiars Gold Class paste wax(1 coat, again got tired)








    And here is my short throw shifter that I made today

    Please give your comments and suggestions.
    -Thanks Brandon

    That is a extremely tiny shifter there, any chance you could get some closer shots of the paint to help all of us... looks pretty good far away to me.

      Yeah that is what everyone says about the shifter. I love it though I can catch the gears alot quicker now.
      This this the only picture I have that is closer to the paint.

          that looks better, silver is a hard color to detail from what i hear from here, also hard to catch on film/camera. also does it say Firehawk on the rear bumper? is there a story behind that

            No its not a firehawk. I wish it was. What you are actually reading is formula. Its a 1995 firebird Formula.

              looks good mate. i'm sure if you didn't get tired it'd be even more shineir or however you spell it than it is.

              as mentioned silver is hard. watched a buddy do it one time. not easy.

                    Thanks again, here are some up close pictures of the custom shifter if anyone is interested. It only took me half an hour and I made a dollar(found it under the boot). Not to bad for only being 17.




                    All of the pictures of the shifter are in neutral except for the last its in second.

                      looks like a good weld job on the shifter, personally too small for my likings but each to their own. Great job on silver and yeah it is a harder color to get to a stage that we are all happy with being detialer and detialing enthusiasts.

                      I know with my car which is a chamapaign silver i have worked on it so long and so often that the color is now permantly shiny lol its a different color than it origonally was and i love it.

                      Back to the Pontiac, you guys have some great outstanding and great cars over there, would love to get my hands on or behind some of those cars. Im willing to trade an Aussie car and an American one lol

                      Great Job Lt
