Because we took this: And made it this: Remember that test spot from earlier? Well, by the time we had finished that half of the hood, the sun wasn't in a great position to show the progress we were making...but we knew we'd be back the next day bright and early. So when we arrived...

I'd just like to take a moment to say....FML! Thank you and please, enjoy the rest of the write-up. Light source didn't matter as you can see above. LED light, Sun Gun, or the direct sunlight...it was HAMMERED in any and every light. There were some deep ones too, as seen here...

I had to share this one with you guys...hope you enjoy! I'd first like to say, this was probably our biggest turn around so far...and not just due to size. We both took a lot of time to do this baby, and additional time went into taking the pics and making the write-up, so, if you have the...

Recently got new tires on my Linc...took it in for alignment and was told my lower control arm bushing was bad (they said one) and wanted $250 to replace it....i kindly passed lol. I figured I'd turn to the help of the forum to see if i can complete this task myself...trying to slowly learn a...

Thank you :thumbup: Yeah he likes to enjoy his car thats for sure. Honestly, a LOT of that type of stuff can be done jsut from bad wash jobs...dirty mitts, water and towels can do a real number on paint. Technique is so important when washing along with clean supplies..otherwise you can end...

Thank you :). Luckily he is going to have us do the washes on it, so that should help...just hope he stays away from the dusters and wiping it down with towels lol

Oh I'm sorry, if you had asked i woulda told ya :). Yeah claying is usually needs 1-2 times a year, jsut depends upon how often the car is outside...unless of course the car happens to get overspray on it :scared: Basically it just removes bonded contaminants (tree sap, pollutants, industrial...

I forgot, i don't have anyone in Iowa, i DO know someone in Illinois though who could take care of you if you're interested. If you are, let me know and i'll get you his info. For tools, wow, lots of things lol. The DeWalt drill you saw WAS a drill, but i gutted it, took out the motor and put...

Many curves, sharp edges and tight corners were all over....in the vents on the hood, under side mirrors...the back end as mentioned before...and every inch had to have sufficient coating applied. Applying a thick amount of coating and NOT ending up with a high spot...is very difficult. We're...

Light em up....we closed down the doors...had a nice dark garage to work in and had our lights to be able to see what we were working with in a controlled environment: The paint was pretty smooth feeling...but we did clay it anyway just to be safe: Then it was time to do a test spot and...
