  • first use of my PC

    if you are gonna do it, why not really do it. Did my parents navigator as my first detail w/ my PC. Just did the paint, didn't do any trim or anything as it was 90+ today. Started at 6:30 A.M.


    used DACP followed by #80 Speed Glaze both w/ polishing pads, then used NXT w/ a Finishing pad.

    results weren't as good as I expected, I wanted more reflection, but the car is about 5 years old and had never been waxed to my knowledge ( i do all the waxing for the family cars and hadn't ever done this)


    I need to work on my picture taking skills









    look at all the dirt the PC shook out






    and then washed these 2


    and had some little visitors watching my every move the whole day

      Great work! How can you be dissapointed in those results. These two pics have great reflection, even for silver. Silver is tough to show depth with. The 2nd pic looks like I could just walk on the sidwalk through the car. I'm impressed! Anyone else?

      Continued good luck.
