New tire dressing

 

[Big Dave]

I polished the single stage white paint on the roof of my FJ Cruiser. The main silver paint is clear coated though. I used Carpro Essence, later that night I gave it a layer of NV Lustre followed by Jet a couple of hours later.

This Challenger is 1 of 4 convertibles that came from the factory with the white paint exterior and red vinyl interior. I'll get a picture of the red interior - it's striking to say the least.

Car is done but I'll be back to the collection to make a video on Monday to showcase the final results.

Single stage paint on cars like this is a tick nerve-wracking. I found at least 2-3 thin spots. I also documented all the sanding marks "the other guy" left behind and then removed them.

This is my 2015 Tundra...reapplied multi layer coating to it. Of course, did the whole wash, deconning, (chemical, mechanical), correctio, and pre coat wipe down.

Looks great!

Maintenance cleaning for this BMW 530i

 

[Mike Phillips]

Looks good. Maintenance Wash unlike a Prep Wash requires more focus and attention to detail plus uncontaminated wash mitts, drying towels and wiping towels.

Thanks for sharing.

Picked up my wife’s E 400 Cabriolet on Friday after having a vinyl wrap installed then did two coats of CarPro Skin yesterday. Finished with the interior this morning so it is clean and protected from the elements.











This car was/is black and has a dark brown fabric top and a rich brown interior. The color combination just never “popped.” I decided to go with a rose gold colored satin wrap and do a chrome delete vinyl in a contrasting color. Looks more like a chick car now I think. The only thing I didn’t think about is how the wheels now look on the car. I think that a dark bronze colored wheel (maybe an inch bigger than stock) will finish this car off nicely. What do you think?




Thanks for looking,

 

[Mike Phillips]

Love the color and the car is HOT too!

Ding dang!!!!
