Thanks....I love my LC red mitt...I had 2, my dog ate one...


At least the land mines were easier to find . Never tried Aquawax have to order some my Optimium Spray wax is just about gone.

My Optimium Spray wax is just about gone.

STAY with your Optimum Spray Wax. I like using that stuff on some of my clients vehicles that just wish for a wash and quick shine.

Yeah I am using OCW (spray wax) as part of an on site express wash/wax service with an ONR wash with th espray wax application following drying on each panel... I just ordered some Opti-seal to try as an alternative but the OCW is easier for me atm to apply.

I like OCW... A chevy 2500 I used it on is still shining over a month later... Hoep to see how well it holds up on that guys truck

Beautiful job on that Taurus. I recently did a detail on a same color Taurus (newer 2001 I think) and it really stood out after polishing. While the 3.0L V6 is not overly powerful or high tech, there have been countless stories on the reliability of that engine ("Vulcan"V6), the transmissions tend to be the weak point of that vehicle. Although, 250K is pretty impressive out of one tranny. Great job on the headlamps.

Hows aquawax compare to optimum spray wax

I don't recall every using OSW.

Very nice work to a Daily Driver...

Thanks

Amazing work again! How long did it take you?

I'm guessing around 4 hours on the paint...

I got to agree with you on that...

Give it a try, I think you will like it..Optimium has some great products, I need to order some OSW and give it a try....

When I'm in a rush I use Opti-seal, very easy to use, looks good, very slick and last.

Thank you...Post some pic of your details, we love them around here...My wife had a Sable (about the same thing as a Tauras) very good car. I sold it to buy her an SUV years ago...No problems out of it, it had 90K when I sold it.

This is probably more impressive than finishing out a six figure automobile. Nice work.....especially for 340K.

See ya.

 

[turbos17]

^ That picture is Epic! Four hours on the paint vetty nice. How about the total time?

Thanks, to tell you the truth, it turn out better than I thought it would...

Everything I'm guessing around 7.5-8 hours.
Hands down my Griots kicks butt compared to my old PC. You can correct so much faster with this machine. Don't get me wrong my PC was a nice detailing tool. But the power is unreal in my new Griot DA. I got to give thanks to Meghan for putting on this DA....If you are planning on getting one of these, get the one with the longer cord... :dblthumb2:
