A few posts went zipping past you.

Just an FYI.

Cameras don't lie ...

Seriously... ask F-150Sport03 nicely for a copy of his detailing 'sticky'.

That has got to be the best plain-english detailing how-to I have ever read!

Many to the authors - superbly written!


Heck 5_oh, I bet even you could follow it ...

seriously, it's just the angle. 90% of the paint looks like almost new. This pic sure doesn't reflect that, no pun intended That's actually the clouds in the sky, it's so shiney !!!!!
