    Hello to all car care enthusiasts around! I have just been lurking around recently reading up on some great information around here. So I have finally decided to post up some pictures of my truck. It's a work in progress, so as I learn new and different techniques on paint correction, cleaning, and LSP's I like to try it out on my vehicle.

    anyways, the paint was polished with menz power finish, then po85rd. SV CF then wax.
    When the truck is finished being cleaned I will post up the results.

    You know you're good when you can identify what's in here to strip the LSP: *hint it's two products in here

    I'm just trying it out as part of a wax test i'm doing over the course of the year. Just like how some of you have done yourself; I log down some info about it and see how it turns out. Thanks for looking:thumb:

    Looks great man! Very clean.

    Just some constructive advice, I believe your truck would look much better if you dressed the wheels wells, tires, and mud flaps, I think it would really accent your black rims :mounty:

    That blue is stunning, beautiful paint. But what else it to be expected with some Menzerna and Swissvax goodies!

    So are you gonna tell us what the LSP stripping combo is... is one of them a CG product?

    yes sir! Don't want to venture a guess? If you get it right, i'll let you hold the CR pot:giggle:

    it is just CG CWG with MS SGS. I mixed it on the strong side! I found that CR is a bit more difficult to remove as compared to say the other waxes from SV
