[Raven74]

I wish I had more hands so that I could give the detail Four Thumbs Up!!!!!!

-Thanks Hector

[Mr Grey]

It was my pleasure. I have m,y lil bro Andy, and Jono working on the car right now. I'm spent. I'm clean up whore now :D. Thanks for letting me mess with it. Unfortunately picds won't be up until a couple more days, maybe tomorrow. I let Andy borrow my cable for the camera.....

[Raven74]

Sounds good. The car was turning heads on the highway left and right. I'm sure it wasn't my ugly mug. Nice Job!!!!

[Mr Grey]

What did the wife say?

[Raven74]

She was stunned. And then the obvious question. Why didn't you take it to him in the first place?:nutkick: Hahahaha

[Mr Grey]

I just got the money out of my pocket, and I think a couple of you were too generous......who was it?


BTW, Manny I'm glad she was happy.

[Kowalski]

[Mr Grey]

[darklegend06]

Very nice. Need to redo mine. Damn weather!!

Just me or does Paulo's trunk look little bit uneven by the taillights?

[Kowalski]

not just you... only a digital slr camera can detect such minor blemishes...

[Mr Grey]

I didn't get to take pics of Paolo's car, but damn it looked real nice. Most of you say his car looks blue-ish in pics. He left before I took pics, but his car was looking more green like always says......Toshi, yes, the tails are a lil off then again it did get hit back there..........

[TurTLe]

man that car is black, i dont care what you say. or aleast blue.

[Pablito]

green.....

[Mr Grey]

Need more pics from paolo, and Jono.........

[Raven74]

Yeah...There were a bunch taken. I want to see a few more.

[Pablito]

i dont have any.....

[Raven74]

BTW It can be blue or green as long as it isn't Teal. IMO it's green.....ish.

[Bluesbrekr]

Very nice, Hector. Care to divulge the process you used on Manny's car?

[TurTLe]

blackish....

[maxse-r]

[Pablito]

stoopid rain....never fails me

[Kowalski]

[Raven74]

I still feel I could have done a better job on it...........but you're welcome

[Mr Grey]

Very nice, Hector. Care to divulge the process you used on Manny's car?

Sure, why not?
Car was washed with Dawn soap, clayed, dried, then I used Poorboys SSR 2, then I polished it wirh some Meguiar's Step 2 (It's what I have at the moment). Then I glazed it with some of the Pro Series Meguiar's stuff. I think it's the number 7 bottle in their series. Then I used the Meguiars' Polymer Sealant, topppede off with S100.

[Mr Grey]

hey hector, how long does it take you to detail a car?
Anywhere form 4 to 6 hours....depending on the paint.

[Kowalski]

3.5 hours of jono's car was claybar... j/k but it came close...

[Mr Grey]

Andy...I'm starting to miss my cable. I want to put up the rest of the pics I took......

[Kowalski]

when you want it? tomorrow?

[Mr Grey]

Tomorrow would be fine if you can drop by. i will be in the garage again.

[Kowalski]

sorry, i had to go to work in the morning and had the usual work at night... i'll try to get it to you by tomorrow...

[HILDE]

Cant wait to see the pics. damn, hector youve been doing great things for black carslol

[Mr Grey]

I did another one today.... a midnight blue 2k2. Car came out looking amazing. Just need my cable :(

[Kowalski]

dude, will any of your brothers be home tomorrow? i'll toss it in the mailbox if anything... i'm gonna be free until 2, but you'll be at work...

[Mr Grey]

Dropping it in the mail slot is fine

[b00b]

How long does this shine last?

[Mr Grey]

Anywhere from 4 to 6 months depends on how the car is kept.

[Kowalski]

my car is kept outside and it's been a month since my detail from hector... shine is still there but i never wash my car so from up close, you can see water spots from the rainy days...

[walec05]

my shine, i remember stayed for a while. id say about 2-3 months. no longer than that, but my conditions were....car was outside, car was washed maybey twice a month, stood in the rain and i drove through alot of construction areas.

I have a new wax that will last a lil longer. I have been experimenting with my process. I think the new process helps it last a lil longer. Let me know if you want yours re-done.

[Mr Grey]

Here are the pics I took. Sorry for the delay......
