1Z Einszett Plastic Vinyl Deep Cleaner or Meguiar's M39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner are two great options to clean the vinyl, you would follow that with a protectant of your choosing. I would recommend M40, Aerospace 303, or Lexol's Vinylex (some of my personal favorites, and they're readily...

I found this thread and thought it could help you save some time and effort if fillers are something you're looking for in a single product (NXT Tech Wax is a great option.) Most online enthusiasts cringe at the mere mention of a product that contains fillers. Why? Who knows (ego is my best...

I respectfully disagree. Even a highly polished vehicle can benefit from a glaze such as M07, or any other quality glaze for that matter. The difference may be so minute, that you may prefer to skip this step, but it will make a slight difference. In most cases, on highly polished dark paints, a...

I vote you do it yourself. Not only will you end up saving money over the long haul, but you will aslo be rewarded with the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. You really don't need all the tools and equipment all of us have. I'd start by getting a DA polisher like the Griot's or the PCXP, a...

This is perfect. If money is not an issue then the 3m Sun Gun is also a great option.

Will you be working it into the finish every time? You would probably be better off using another product with less cleaning action, or a pure wax/ sealant. If you want fast and easy maintenance, then try Optimum Spray Wax or something similar. I don't really see the need for you to use D151 to...

I also found this informative link as well: 1979 Ski Supreme ski boat - back from Davey Jones' Locker - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online It basically illustrates that even without a Rotary Buffer, you can still obtain good results on neglected gel coats using the right technique and products...

The best way to figure out what you'll need for your specific application is to do a test spot. Try your Flex with a polishing pad and M49. If you're not getting the results you're looking for, then jump to a yellow pad (foam cutting) and the M49 you already have. See how that works out. You...

Looking good! Which LSP is it sporting?

Awesome work! That car is amazing, I really like power wagons. My wife would love a power wagon like this. This thing would make like the ultimate mommy mobile, too bad I don't have kids, can you imagine kids being shuttled around in this thing.:xyxthumbs: And again great job.

DG105 is a very durable sealant, and it's easy to use (easy on/ off.) I would go with a black pad, but either is fine. I've never applied it via Flex, because I prefer the PC for applying my waxes, my guess would be a low speed. The cleaning ability on this sealant is very mild, nothing like...

Excellent work Chad, your hard work really brought that paint back to life. :xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I really did enjoy this project. It was tiresome but we kept it fun. I guess what made it seem like less of a chore was the fact that we had no real time constraints. By the way, Kleen Strip's Aircraft Paint Stripper is no joke, always wear recommended...

Nice Car! You need to take it around the block more often.:xyxthumbs:

Here is my entry.:xyxthumbs: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/27520-erik-mejia-s-show-n-shine-entry.html#post338898

Thanks for the tip, wish I had thought of that. Oh well. Thanks again.:xyxthumbs:

Thanks guys. Yeah I don't know what's up with the missing pics. My process for posting was uploading them onto the Album, clicking on the individual photo, copying the "Picture URL" from within the box below the picture and then entering that code into the "Insert an Image" button in the editor...

Are any of you guys able to see the photos? It appears I can only see them when I'm logged onto AGO. Don't know whats going on with this.

I thought I'd make an effort and submit an entry of my own. The vehicle in question belongs to my mother, it's a 1995 GMC Suburban with about 180,000 on the odometer. The original color of this vehicle is black, but my cousin Lionel and I decided to change all that. Before I begin, let me...
