        I've never had any good experience in my encounters with Lightening owners.
        Very good, this truck had about 3 inches of dust on it from sitting up on a lift for eight years. He made it very clear that every speck of dust be removed from this truck. I had some before pictures but they did not turn out good and you really cannot see it good on the camera. But this truck looked pretty bad in person ,but eight hours later is what you see here.

        To be honest, there was very little swirling on this truck to begin with, nobody ever touched it.

        I did a few test spots with M66 and M20 and M06 and I liked what M20 Polymer Sealant had to offer. The paint was soft enough that M20 was actually performing about a 98% correction on the D.A with a yellow polishing pad.

        And if you are referring to NIck Chapman, I think he did sell his Lightning.

        Thanks Nappers.

          Great job, Tuck! The finish looks very wet indeed!

          The pics of how the trim came out has me excited to try the bottle of ASD I just received...

            Only 528 miles...O.O You shouldn't have test drove it...-.- If I owned that truck, it would just go in and out of the garage...that truck is probably worth more now that it was new, because they are one of the nicest trucks Ford has ever made, and It would be hard tol find one with low miles....


            Great job making it worth more ;P

            Another note...Look at that guys house...o.O WOW...

              Well, I had to drive it to put gas in it.

                So did you get a chance to "get on it"?

                    The Lightning was not designed to be just a straight-line hotrod......The Lightning's skid pad numbers hit 0.85 g when road tested. A 2001 Corvette pulls between .98 to 1.0 g. Too bad you didn't get to take it out on a curvy, mountain road! It's handling is amazing.
