So this is my ride.... I experiment with it.... A LOT to say the least...
This refers to not only detailing, but mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic as well. About a 2 years ago I did an experiment with Hobby Tint and a UV protectant on my tails to smoke them out...The outcome was great!!! Take a look:
That was until about 6 months later...all the tint faded and I just lost interest in even doing anything to correct it... This is what I was left with:
I didn't think much of it until my girl said "Honey your tail lights are disgusting..." Of course! She has become quite the expert since I finally corrected her headlights and paint... she could muster enough courage to make fun of my car :dig:
That single comment had propelled me into a frenzy :nomore: ... Busted out my scuff pad, 400, 800, 1500, and 2000 grit sand paper, diamondite cut and diamondite polish to start doing some work... It took forever!!! About 2 hours to complete both tails... they were a wreck....
BEFORE:
The left side was just as bad, but after pausing to take pictures of the right, I just wanted to finish the left up and didn't take many pictures of it...
Tape!!!!!!
Doing work!!!!
MMMM hazy goodness
After cut
Final product!!!
When I saw her again that night... naturally I asked for Feed back please and she could not believe how good they looked... I thought they looked pretty sweet as well!!! Anyway thanks everyone for taking a look at this, and I hope you enjoyed the story that caused me to go into my corrective madness!!!!
