Any word on products/pads used? how many passes it took, etc. thoughts on what you liked, didnt like about products?

1965 Ford Shelby Cobra DragonSnake

Very nice results,, could a less abrasive pad then the wool acrilic have been used for the 1st step or was the wool acrilic the least aggressive for the task?

I use the WG leather cleaner/conditioner combo and am happy with the results. I feel the cleaner gets the dirt/sweat/oils off the leather well. The conditioner leaves a nice non sticky/ non greasy feel as well and protects from uv rays. Be sure to vacuum before using the cleaner.

p21s gel to get most of the baked on brake dust/gunk and then iron-x to really clean the wheels, it really makes claying almost optional.

Nice job on the scratch,, I have a very deep serious key scratch to contend with myself and its good to see some possible results. I plan to use the toothpick/wet sand/polish approach as well.

Nick, was there a noticable difference in the feel of the paint after using iron x? This product is on my list, however I believe most of the black spots on my paint is due to tar and not metals.

Go with a mercedes benz, the only european car maker in the top 5 for quality. get a used 2008 s550.

Another possible option would be to read up on the different leather cleaner/conditioner products available here on ag. For example Optimum Leather Protectant is a cleaner/conditioner in one, the description states "Optimum Leather Protectant even hides scratches on your leather and vinyl so...

The best I've used so far as been the Menzerna Power Lock sealant ( I have not used BFWD yet). The powerlock slickness seems to lessen within a few weeks but the protection and wet-look gloss is still strong. It's by far a better looking sealant then wolfgang dpgs 3.0! Ultima UPGP is great and...

Im not so sure that carfax will pick up the insurance payout regarding your 4runner. I think carfax is just a gimmick and basically worthless. Why would there be concern of how clear was removed? It looks as though some of the before pictures had paint transfer from the other car.

Guys on here love to see pictures, if possible take clear pictures and I'm sure you'll be put on the right path. I know nothing about singe stage paint. Gluck

looks good, was it difficult to apply the opti-coat?

First off, that car is awesome!!. Although the paint may not be 100% perfect when the car arrives, I suspect that it will look great and be scratch/swirl free. The more the paint is touched the more chances that swirls will be scratched into the paint. 1. learn the proper methods to wash/dry...

Reading this post makes me realize i need to find a good all purpose cleaner for my interior!! I recently used a mix of woolite/warm water for my carpet and headliner. (woolite does not fade or discolor) however make sure that your mf is barely damp when cleaning your headliner you dont want...

You should touch it up, it will be barely noticable afterwards. There are a few different routes you can take,, the DIY route, get touchup paint from the dealer and fill it in yourself (there's a lot of threads, videos on how to do that the best way). You can also ask the dealership who...

How are those wheels "better than factory condition"? I agree they look brand new. The wheels looked relatively clean for 6 months of not being cleaned. Did you encounter any tar spots? I dont see any in the before picture. I spent about 3 hours yesterday cleaning my wheels, I used the...

While I havent used many other spray waxes/sealants. You will definitely notice the extra shine that it gives the paint. I don't have time to apply after washing on a regular basis but when I do it adds an extra shine.

The black bumper and spoiler look perfect on that ride, nice contrast. Can you tell us a little about the paint process? I am assuming the spoiler and bumper were originally yellow. Were they powdercoated/baked? or standard spray and then clearcoated? What type of shop did the work?

Calcium carbonate - Cleaning Agent Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate - Cleaning Agent Trichlorocyanuric Acid - Stain removal Fragrance Pleasant - Scent Dye - Color Those are the listed ingredients for ajax, I dont know what affect they would have on tires (drying, cracking, NONE). I'm...
