Sure glad I attended your car care seminar last Saturday... and even better to have the treatment done to my ride!!



After a thorough washing, Gary clay bars the finish on my PT. This process gets rid of that sappy grit that always seems to lay on the paint. Now it's "smooth as a baby's butt".




Polishing. Machine polishing was done with a Porter Cable random action orbital. Random orbitals don't leave swirl marks because instead of spinning on a single axis like a wheel, it spins on a constantly shuttering axis. I had swirl marks before... but not now [?]

Final step was a paint "sealant" instead of a wax. What's the difference? According to Gary, waxes last about a month, sealants about 3-4 months. I've always waxed in the past, so I'm looking forward to how well this performs.



TAH DAH Those are some nice shiney Cruisers [^] Thanks Gary!

BTW: If any of you are interested in how I posted these pictures in the forum, drop me an email and I'll give you a hand.
