Look at that shine...

STANGER_SC · 11-18-2007, 11:31 PM

Just wanted to show some results of some vehicles I have done and will be doing in the near future. Will post them as I do them. First...my daily driver Stang in show status: notice the wet look in the paint. This was at the car show up at the Bass Pro Shops.

Here is a white vehicle I completed today. This is a daily driver Eddie Bauer Ford Expedition (I beleive 2004). White is very difficult to obtain a "wet-look" that darker vehicle have due to its inability to reflect light...it actually refracts light instead. Overcast also made it difficult to really see the end result I am sure that in full sunlight it would really shine! Me and the owber of this vehicle were happy with the results....

More pics of other rides to come when they are completed. This is a hobby of mine and I enjoy doing it.

Thanks a bunch Drew for the compliments. As far as the wet look I clay, buff, polish, 2 wax's, then a UV protectant coat of Zaino sealant. Helps pretect the gloss and removes much of the swirls in the paint too.
