I have a lighter color top that was beginning to show some spotting from exposure w/o treatment since I bought the car in Sep.2005. It's a 2005 Ford Thunderbird Limited 50th Anniversary "Cashmere" Edition. Light soft top, white leather seats, you get the picture.:help: The first time I took...

I see! It looks great though. It however does present an issue, you're right. The blue looks so cool, but I feel like the spokes in the rims are almost too dense to try to push more blue through. Better to go silver -imo- I mean you already have a glint of chrome carrying through from clip to...

I like the red idea alot as well! Just a thought: You do have alot of color in the Caddy Sheilds. But there is red in the backround of your rims Caddy sheilds, so you really could get away with even a very fine pinstripe line beneath (above?) a silver pinstripe as mentioned earlier...

Howdy!

VERY nicely done! Love the calipers. Rotors are excellent. Great job on rims too! Were you orginially going for a total black-out? Interior as well? Yes. You could break it up with a nice silver pinstripe, and that would look really classy. :iagree: Keep up the very good work! I'm very...

I really like the 303 Aerospace product. I did not encounter the streaking, but I always start with little and add more product for coverage. Good practice? I don't know. Works for me. I will use foam applicators (thanks CEE DOG) good idear. I have not yet used it on my seats. I have white...

Shoe polish might work until you got your hand sweaty and rubbed your face. Maybe try some of the Forever Black trim product, it has black dye in it but it will not replace the finish where the leather has worn thin. You might could try that over an application or two....more??? Only if the...

Just got some 303 Aerospace today, but by accident. I wanted the Fabric Convertible kit with the separate units (one to clean, the other to protect) but they sent the other instead. From all I have read about their products, you should be a "Go" for use on leather (as well as turnips!) I'm...

Hey! I am amazed by all of the NC-er's here! Hope to meet you sometime! Maybe if we get enought NC-er's to gether, AG would have a Detailing College (is that what it is?) up here! Take care!:buffing:

Hi Bunky! Nice to meet ya! Looks like we've got quite a few NCarolineans represented! :xyxthumbs: Have a great weekend!

Hey there! Just thought a contingency of NC-ers could'nt hurt anything! So do you have your own detaing biz then? I've got a beauty of a Tbird w/tricoat Cashmere. She needs a good deep down gleaming. Surface is not bad, but it has some lite surface scratching from road trippin back and forth to...

Thanks Mike! You all have a class act here! I appreciate what you have built to help others grow their businesses and know their business better so they can work smarter and more profitably, or just know their way around a finish better for their own satisfaction. I hope you have a function up...

Thanks Meghan! I appreciate what you're doing here and know you stay very busy with this online forum and at various functions. I appreciate the warm welcome! I look forward to learning alot from everyone at AutogeekOnline. I've already been made to feel very welcome. I hope that you will...

Thanks F150smith! I'm starting to feel right comfy here! I pass thru S.C. on my way to Wilmington every few weeks. I read a couple of your posts and liked the one with your opinion of Mothers. I grew up on the stuff -and I'm not old by any means. Just getting started!:dblthumb2: Thanks again...

Hey! Thank you! You'll have to let me know where you're at, maybe grab a coffee or something sometime. I'm over in old Ardmore. Would be fun! I see you're a Senior Member, does this mean you're bi-lingual or that you're a founding member or something???:bowdown:
