    1st correction progress and questions

    Today I finally started correction on my black 96 SVT Cobra. I know pictures would be appreciated but right now I don't have them. I did take some befores but not sure how they came out yet. Sun was very strong and in the shade I didn't have a Sun lamp. I had already washed with dawn and clayed...

    2006 Impala SS wash, playing with new camera.

    I bought the same camera in December. I want to buy a fast 50mm also. How do you like that lens? I shot a lot of images at a Ringo and his All Star band concert on Wednesday night. I started shooting at 1200 asa then backed down to 800. The pictures came out great. The camera performs great at...

    Opinions on a Bra for a car

    We have a Black 96 SVT Cobra. It was a garage queen from the previous owner and is a weekend car for us. Whenever we drive it, it does tend to pick up a lot of bugs on the front. I was able to find for a decent price a black Bra made for our particular model. Being as it was a limited...

    '98 Corolla - Detailed by Lawrence

    That was one incredible turn around. You did an amazing job. And I appreciate the the detail in your presentation. Being a newbie it helps to see how much time you put into each step. My mother in law had a 98 corolla in similar condition and I looked forward to turning the condition of paint...

    My new Mag signs

    We had signs like that for our photo studio and they paid off almost immediately. After that next step was had vinyl cut and installed directly on the car. Side panels and hatch plus rear window. Really helped sell our studio. Yours look very professional and match well with the SUV. So I think...

    Stripping wax w/ dawn. How much Dawn per 5 gallon bucket?

    OP Here. I washed today because it was cool and cloudy. Use 2 bucket method. For soap I mixed 4oz of Dawn and Meg's Deep Crystal car wash that I had. I washed the car 2x and it still beaded very well! So later today I will proceed with claying. I will be using Meg's clay kit that I already...

    POLL: Keep the stripes or ditch em?

    Check out all the stripe options at American Muscle's site. A nice clean bold option is what they call the "C" stripe on the side. Or you could go with the always classy Lemans double Shelby type stripe up and over everything. Or no stripe and then accent some areas with a satin black like add a...

    Picking up my new 2012 Performance White Mustang V6 tomorrow!

    The mags are the ones Rcramie posted. Lots of ads but lots of good tech info too. They were offered recently on a digital subscription for just $5 each. Works great on an iPad and less mags junking up the house. I also grabbed Hot Rod and Car Craft for $5 each. On Speed Channels past time a V6...

    Picking up my new 2012 Performance White Mustang V6 tomorrow!

    Since I got my Cobra I subscribed to the 2 big Mustang Mags. They've done some incredible things with the V6's. I know with bolt ons and a tune they got them to over 400HP. CAI, Free Flow Exhaust, and a BAMA Tuner are the starting points. Congratulations. In my past I had 2 white with Shelby...

    I had to document this one.... & Late Introduction

    Theo that was an incredible transformation of that car. Like some others I thought it looked pretty good before you started from the first shots in your driveway. But after you removed the old wax and such it was really bad. And after your magic it looked incredible. And what you did with the...

    Pretty Kitty (And mean too!)

    Incredible turn around of a neglected kitty. Some clarification please for a newbie. When talking about the chips you said something like not even the Lankgar(sp?) could pull out? What does that mean? In order to clean the barrels must you pull the wheels? You initially cleaned the tips with...

    Us vs the general public

    I watch Chasing Classic Cars on Velocity and it kills me when Wayne goes to see a very rare and valuable Ferrari or something similar and the guy has it covered with a canvas or worse plastic tarp. Then they rip it off and set it on the floor! Probably put it back on after. I would imagine a...

    Us vs the general public

    I took my 96 SVT Cobra to a show yesterday. It's black. As soon as I pull it in the car wrangler ask me how I've kept it scratch free for this long. Many people commented on how nice it is for a 16 year old car. I on the other hand see every swirl mark, scratch, and watermark on it. It...
