"PreciseFit"....sheesh!

I'd go with taking it off, then. Doesn't sound like it is a very cool sticker in its own right.

That's a tough call. I can't tell from the pic how "vintage" it looks vs. just something that any used car dealer might have put on. I still have the trunk lid chrome metal dealer emblem from my '57, but I just hang it on the wall. It's up to you, man!

Wow, I'm gonna stop by Advance Auto parts!!

Congrats! Looks like you're having a ball together!

The only way this story could get more sentimental is if you could get the same haircut that the guys who bought these cars back in '91 had...business in front; party in back! :D

I've got some I've listed as willing to trade a sample of...nobody has hit me up on it, surpirsingly! Of course, it would have to be something pretty sweet... ;)

I run Mobil 1 in modern gasline cars, sometimes my Diesel truck, and Brad Penn in my old motors.

I was there in 2009 and 2010...I went to college in Flint, MI, so I used to go back in the mid 90's, too. Pretty cool! Here's "proof" that I cruised Woodward in my '57 a couple years ago: :)

I have some NXT spray wax I never liked, too, but didn't use it in the way Mike prescribes...I just tried to use it like a typical QD. So maybe I ought to dust off that bottle and try again! :)

I have a bottle from Detail Shoppe and haven't really used it because I haven't seen much discussion on how to best use it...and I know it's not very appropriate to do that here...

Thanks! Not bad for a field car!

They aren't smoothies. They look like an old factory steel wheel that has been chrome plated. They are made by Stockton Wheel and called "Milner Specials" after the guy (and cars) in American Graffiti.

And new engine dress, too:

I like the Professional Detail Bag simply because it looks like it can hold the most stuff, and I don't like to have to make up my mind about what to bring to the car show...I never know what I might need!

Did you put the WG under the Glasur or over?

Gotta wait two days before you call. But three days is kinda money.

When you guys (inyadreems & Advanced Detailing) say you're using the Meguiar's MF compound, can I assume you mean you are using it with MF pads, too? And I understand your concern for newbie hype, but I'm just trying to understand some of the techniques.

Ditto!
