I think he might have wanted to go hogging while he was here...

We ate BBQ (and got light switch training) when I was there. Wasn't that good enough?!?

One that pays $2.13 an hour at a crappy BBQ joint ran by an old angry man. And by "hogging", I wasn't talking about the pork that you eat...

Great work RP!

It's easy to make silver look good. However, it's not so easy to make silver look great... you made it look great!

I am disappointed in one thing though... I didn't see any #81 in your collection!

Body Shop Pro Hand Polish is still one of my favorites. At least when used in conjunction with other Meguiar's products, or with a carnauba as the LSP.

Oh... I own it. Have a gallon (3/4 left) in fact. I've just found #80 to be a tad easier to work with as it seems to be oilier. I like a really wet product so that I can work it via DA longer. Personal preference there, I guess.

I mad at you. I mad that you dont have more pics, lol. I love to detail cars and I would say Im pretty good at it but not like you, just yet, lol. Where did you learn to do this? How did you start? How long did it take you to become so great. I think that once I understand the Product #'s I will advance, NOW THROUGH UP SOME PICS

Aside from the caveman first sentence... I think it should be throw...
But, more importantly, check out my gallery. There are some pics for you to check out there.

Also, RP, I am also interested in how long you have been doing this...

There ya go! I knew there must be some #81 in your stash somewhere.

I here ya on the #80... great product! Being more of a cleaner/polish, it does have much more "bite" than #81. For minor paint correction, #80 has a big advantage. I use #81 to replace both #7 & #9, and use it after #80.

Whatever the case, the "pony" looks great!

Uhh... about 6 years in a serious mode. Prior to that, I was still OCD about my vehicle... that'll date back 15 years.

My grandmother was my first 'client' at age 14. I still do her cars. Grandmothers tip VERY well.
