Very nice detail there pirex, the vehicle was suffering from severe oxydation. Those 50/50 pictures are wicked. Well done bro.

Thank you for sharing buddy..by the way always love the view

 

great work, you did wonders on that oxidation. Your work is top notch

 

I remember this! I can't believe how you got LSP ready with orange pad . Man KT, I think I'll just have you detail my car haha just kidding, I wish you can come down here and we can detail my car together. That would be fun.

 

Car still looks good

 

Looks like poor thing was pretty badly oxidized...great job bringing it back to life!!!

 

Awesome work as usual Pirex. Man that is an unbelievable turnaround. Heck he probably wasn't even allowed into baaaad town with that vehicle :what:! So you really liked diluting the DP with water and spraying it on? I'm thinking I'm going to have to try this so how much did you dilute?

 

Thanks supercharged

Thanks wolf! haha, good one I liked it, but found out that optimum tire shine workes better. So don`t do it anymore. If you want to try, so take about 30% DP and rest water.

:joint:

 

Looks great.. that paint had some horrible oxidation...I bet your bro is VERY happy!!!

Have you ever used a chemical polish?? Works real good on oxidation.....

 

Thanks for the tip pirex :thumb:. As a matter of fact I have some Optimum Tire dressing on the way!:woot:

 

No problemo. Makes it less shiny! I love optimum tire shine. Buying gallon before the summer.

Have a great day my friend. Cheers!!

 

Single stage is by far the most rewarding!

Great job, thanks for sharing

 

That brought back TONS of memories! My mum used to have a dark blue one. LOVED IT!!!
