ahhh. Didnt know that you waxed-- your previous post implied that you didn't. Sorry for misunderstanding you.

Also-- Yeah-- it doesnt take 5+ hours to detail...IF you keep it clean, which you obviously do. Some people here will thrash their paint, then take a weekend and remove problems...Not my choice, but for some...

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding.

don't know what part of my simple question offended you. I was just curious about the products you were using.

I didn't see you mention anything specifically relating to sealants or waxes, and was also a little confused about the use of the word polish. true polishes offer no clear coat protection .. so I was curious as to what you are using for protection.

glad you are happy with your processes. glad you have won awards at car shows .. I have no idea what that is like .

If you get the chance, enter a local stock class. You might be surprised at the outcome. The judges, if they have done shows before, will really appreciate a daily driver with some miles on it, that you can eat off of! They were quite impressed with the quality of my paint, and general appearance of the entire truck.... there have been several. It is also some of the most fun you will ever have. You will be hanging out with people just like yourself that won't look at you funny when you crawl under the truck to wipe the frame down with tire dressing.

Just when I thought this thread was getting boring it comes springing back to life.



Sarcasm of course.

Ehh... what the heck. I'll sit here and watch as well.

BTW, thanks for the earlier compliments.

At this exact moment, it's looking like I'll be detailing a couple of vehicles at the NSRA Nationals event which is this weekend in Louisville... at least, that's the theory. Either or both could fall through... should know something 'firm' tomorrow (considering that it STARTS tomorrow... lol... I'll have to take a vaca day... not sure I'll be able to get them both done).

A couple of the guys from Megs are scheduled to be down as well... not sure if dinner is in the cards there to catch up but, hopefully...

I'm suprised I made that list. I guess I know a little more than I thought!

PS: Marine Grade Meguiars? 2 coats?

PSS: This thread is already derailed so why not?

I suppose that would work. I might try that next time. Just a quick question.... won't the paint cleaner strip off any and all protection? Why bother using extra material and time to just strip it off with cleaner and have to start again? Any time you "clean" anything it will remove whatever was there before. Just like Claybar or Glaze, it strips off everything.
