Don't they teach teachers anything?:D, looking nice. How did you finally get XMT to work (which one, pad etc)?

Uh, no, they don't teach you computer skills less you are a newbie. I graduated UC in 91 and we still used typewriters! LOL!

Ok, orange lc pad with xmt 2, two passes, slow, and lots of pressure.
Then XMT 1 with a white pad.
Then washed with pinnacle body shampoo, white schmitt and guzzler.
three coats of pinnacle soueran paste.
sprayed with pinnacle crystal mist. here you have it.
hours and hours, days later, of course.

hey, how can i fix the photos? the link to the last one, the removable top, is a really great one - reflects the whole house!
but if you don't click on the link, you can't see it.???
 
Good job, Lauren!! :applause: Looks smooth and wet!! Didn't you dry that car off before taking the pics? :D J/K!! You got XMT2 to work on that hard Vette CC! Thought you'd have to use XMT3. You worked hard, and it shows!! Very nice!!
Meghan can probably help you with your pic links. She helped edit mine before. But your links worked when I clicked on them.
 
Great job! I love that swirl free wet looking finish! Well done! :applause:
 
Lauren ... its beautiful. Now remember good washing and drying techniques and you can keep swirls to a minimum, which helps in faster removal.

:iagree: preper techniques+proper tools= very minimum swirls.
 
Great job, Lauren! That baby looks miles deep! Now, where are the reflection mugshots? lol

Joey:cheers:
 
great job! glad you took my advice :p

Great work and Im sure your very proud of your vette!
 
Nice Lauren

Great looking car, its now officially a ReDelicious member of AGF
 
Looks sweet. My father-in-law is a Vette guy, and if he saw that he'd be drooling.
 
Congrats, Lauren on a Great Job. Well Done. Your efforts and hard work Truly Paid Off. Enjoy your beautiful ride. JoeD

Yes, I know. Even my husband wants me to! lol ...mr i don't even wax my cars - ha!
I will be working on the other three next. They are a mess! The fourth, my son's, is getting a new paint job so that is not an issue.
Thanks for the kudos.
I love my cars, always have. SOUVERAN was the ultimate.
