NV Desert Pinstripes-After 8 Hrs Hard Labor

[TheCzar]

If you need some extra therapy, I've got some pinstripes from my last adventure that you can work on. I'll even drink the beer for you so you won't be tempted

I used to be McGuires guy before I really had any idea what I was doing, they sold and are no longer family owned I believe.
I went to Chemical Guys because it’s basically idiot proof, I need that lol.
They have great marketing, you get to go to a one day detail class when I dropped $250 on a buffer. I made the mistake of trying the Rupes Buffer in the class. Big mistake! I immediately feel in love with it and dropped $400 on it.
All their polish is numbered so easy to figure out for me. I learned quite a bit in the class. Before the class I was just slapping on whatever wax sounded good. I really like Adams products too. I will take a look at Zaino and see what they have to offer. Thank you.

OP…nice job!

I had my Raptor fully expel wrapped. The expel is self healing to a point. I do have some visible pinstriping on the wrap. The paint underneath is untouched, at least so far.

Thank You Sir, I finished with a product called Jet-Seal. It’s supposed to last up to a year, but in Vegas’s Hell like heat I’ll be happy with 4 months. It gave the finish a lot of depth. In between breaking out the buffer and spending 4+hrs I’ll use a spray-on Ceramic.
Keeps it beading up nicely on every wash. So much so, that I use my lawn blower and 1 lint free towel to dry it in less than 30 min.
