ok, I did not get it sealed - but everything else was done. tomorrow will be the sealing with Klasse.
but I gotta tell ya, the car looks 1000% better than it did. wow.
I am in awe. :thumbup:

And you, Scott, are going to be held responsible for me having to drop more of my hard earned cash on my own PC and the necessary waxes/polishes. oke:

 

 

ics:

 

Enough blather already. Before. After. Snap to.

 

yea, right, sure.
I didn't take "before pix." I took some "after pix" and I'll post shortly.

 

first pix after...
I am in the process of loading more.

 

this is one of my faves...

I love this one as well...

but this one tells the complete story, regardless of how good the rest of the pix look. I didn't spend enough time on the car to get all of the swirls out of the hood...

this car is a daily driver, all. it has 175k miles on it, the hood has lots of rock chips, and it is a 99. not bad, considering. the next time I do this, there will not be swirls.

as an aside, I used the PC this afternoon with the Sonus SFX-1 on the roof rails of my daughter's A4. they are polished aluminum with a clearcoat, and the clearcoat was getting really hazy. it works there too.

 

Nice work Jay. I'm green with envy.

 

good job kid!

 

wow just wow, i really need to do mine,

hey scott what should i use on the hood of the bug sx-1 or sx-2, or should i use sx-1 on the sx-2 pad

 

Jay - your car looks great. Was that Klasse All In One you used? Just wondering how you liked it. I find it can be difficult to work with some times.

 

I used the SG. I decided to try it the way the instructions on the bottle describe, and it is a PITA. it IS difficult to work with - just when you THINK it is completely wiped off, closer inspection shows some minute streaking. I went over the car three times on the upper portion, and three times on the lower portion. if someone had seen me, they'd think," WTF is this old guy doing crawling around and around his car for???" :wrench:

 

Damn, that's a real good job! Maybe I should drive down to CT and you can work on my black B5 as well!

 

Damn Jay, that's a huge difference. Have you always had tinted tails? I don't remember seeing them at Snorkmania 1.



Gotta get your tranny and mystery problem fixed first, otherwise you'll be camping out for a while again!

 

just need some tire dressing now.

 

no he needs some rims oke:

 

Looks great Jay.

 

thanks everyone, for all the great comments. the lowers need some Back to Black (I have it), and the tires do need dressed.

Andrew, those tails were on my car at Snorkfest I and II, and have been for about more than 2 years.

I didn't clean up the wheels - I have plans there, tho. :thumbup:

Good, about F***ing time. :rolleye:

 

just as a small touch of irony to "compliment" my hard work - I went out this morning, only to discover a nice "plop" of bird crap on my windshield.

 

At least it's not 14 male turkeys with raging hormones attacking it.

 

At least it's not 5 male turkeys with raging hormones attacking it.

fixed it for ya. :wrench: but yea, I am glad of that... it's not turkey mating season! :thumbup:
