Well, I missed the contest, but at least I got a chance to vote.

Great work on all those vehicles entered! I would have liked to vote for 4 or 5 of the vehicles entered, as they looked "super"! However, I voted for MaxTorque02................... making white paint stand out like that is extremely difficult, especially if it's factory paint! Awesome job!

At least I got some mentioning. Thanks APT, that makes me feel good.


On a side note, AutoZone FINALLY got NXT car wash, the ratbastards.

VOTING HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL JULY 4th.

I don't think I'll be in the mood to count votes Friday considering that I'm getting my wisdom teeth cut out Friday morning.

And this will give you a chance how? Do you even understand what wet sanding is meant to do for your finish?

Removes scratches and such. Yes I know, but you see if the next competition is "Post a picture of your left front fender" or "Post a picture of your passanger door" or whatever I'm screwed, because it's not pretty.

Mention of wet-sanding brings back an old idea... I'm tired of having to deal with swirls, etc... I might just sand my paint down to a nice even flat finish and just leave it like that... hmmm...

Maybe another idea for contests will be to have people just pictures for a specific thing... Maybe post that idea after.

Have everyone post pictures and then pic one thing to address... 1) best shine 2) best dress tires/trim/wheel wells etc...

Who knows... have to get creative and try new stuff...

I thought you were intel. But from this angle it does appear to have some white stuff around the wheel wells. Any ideas how to remove it?

Ever have the feeling people are watching you? Not sure why.
