|
|
Since IDDVI is incorporating a car show this year, I think we need to get some of our better looking cars entered. If we can get into Marino's garage on Sunday May 1st, how about a Detail Day?
If we get the cars looking great, the will be faster due to lower wind resistance and they will only need some minor touch-ups once we get down there. |

I've never done this. I barley have time to wash and regular wax it. Will clay remove some scratches? _________________ Good Bye.

Clay will not remove scratches or swirls. Its job is to remove bonded contaminents from the paint and make the surface smoother. |

I've been known to wash, dry, clay, remove swirls, polish, glaze, apply a few coats of sealant then top with wax.
I then hit the interior, tires, wheels, engine compartment, door jambs, trunk and trunk jambs.
Granted, I don't do this very often. |

I will be there BOTH DAYS, and I will enter in the car show. We will probably see cars winning their class that have custom airbrush paint schemes!!
Good luck to all who participate! _________________ Chad Drexel

I'm curious to see the classes for the show and how the awards will break down. I'm hoping to be involved with the show somehow. I know I'll be helping to touch up our cars. The Envoy will be full of all sorts of supplies, including the majority of my detailing arsenal. |
