Great look! I've been a bit shy in using clay bar, but with all the great results posted, I think I need to start!!

BTW, what kind of construction is that in your garage? Looks like stone/split log?

its not the garage , just like a little room where i keep my stuff , and yea house is on a stone foundation...i dunno why their is wood there, its got more stone on the other side lol...i guess they put wood just to make it pretty...but yea , theirs stone throughout the rest of the basement, its cool, if it rains a lot we get waterfalls in some places of the house lol...one day im gonna just put 2 shelves right across that wall instead of those shelves i rigged up one day when i was bored...

Hey DrPaul,

Beside the left tail light at the top part on the tailgate, is that just shadows or what. It looks like swirlmarks

Yeah, My volly company officers had us out last night waxing the ladder portion of the ladder truck for the parade on Monday. They used Mothers Carabanuba Wax and the metal polish. It's a far cry from the detailing that is done by members of this site. RP would need a week for that truck in size alone.
