Thanks man. If we went a little south, we may find some people that would do the for a bag of magic seeds, LOL.
 






Ronnie, as usual, your truck looks great.

I do have one question.... why did you choose the system you use over other systems such as Zaino?
 






Because I was going into more detail than what Zaino has to offer. I will probably keep it up and looking good with Zaino. But I needed allot of different products to do different jobs right now to remove small scratches and stuff.
 






Saturday I added another coat of the 3M Hand Glaze. Decided to take it outside and see how it looks in the sun while it's not raining. I will be at a stand still now until I get my other products in that I just ordered. I wqant to add the Sonus Paintwork Cleanser in. This is just another added step to see what type of results I get. If I don't like it, I can return it for a full refund.

So here are several shots outside in the sun.

Pictures just does not do this justice. It shines beyond my wildest imagination. So I tried to take some hood shots to see if they would show anything. Here is 4.

Then I moved her back inside to take a few more shots because that is where most of the pictures are from and I am using them all as comparisons. Sorry if I am overloading yall with repeative photos.

Now i see where that money for those chair went :p

Man, what a shine, very very nice job Ron. Can i bring mine over when i get home?
 






Sure thing. Bring the chairs to sit in while I do yours, LOL. Thanks for the compliments.
 






That is very amazing. Is the color Toreador Red? I bet you don't have a single scratch or dent on that thing. Perfect. :)
 






I'm sure it's Toreador Red.

Ronnie, that thing looks awesome!!!! You make me wanna detail my truck. I need to anyway...it's been 4 months since my last major detail. Another 15, 20 hours worth of work...woohoo!!! :p
 






It is Toreador Red. The only other color besides it that I am extremely fond of is white. It "had" a few minor scratches in it and it still had a few small dents from a$$holes in parking lots. But got almost 99% of them out. No deep scratches though.
At the rate I am going right now, and not trying to kill myself over this, I will finish next week. That is if I work on it everyday. To be honest, that probably isn't going to happen. I need some rest in between. Will get started again when order comes in, probably Wednesday. It is a 2-3 day delivery so who knows.
 






Wow, you're going all out! Looks very nice though. I really like the color combo too.
 






Your hard work is reflected in the finish. (pun intended)
Bet you cant wait to finally put the wax to it......

Bill you just don't know, LOL. I wish I was waxing it tomorrow, LOL. I have 4 steps to go. This is wearing me out. If I was 20 again this would be a peice of cake and done in a weekend, LOL. Ahh, to be young and full of well blood, LOL. again.
 












Are you still renting a car everytime you want to get over there to the stereo shop?

amazing truck very shiny, ron you HAVE to do SOMETHING about those stok tailights though. RED testors spray or something, make the painter guy do it for taking so long.
I know. I have only seen a couple of different tails that appeal to me. I guess I am waiting on someone who has some to sell them in the forum. I seen some on E-bay, but the ones that I like are a 100 buck +. I have gave them enough projects to last. Right now I want it finished then will worry about the tail lights when I get it home. I certainly do not like clears with chrome for tails. It doesn't go with red. It has to be something with a black base in it to make it work and look right.

BTW, other than tester's spray, I am 100% open for suggestions on some new tail lights.
